[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Ma On Shan Country Park (Updated Jul)

Thanks for the good weather! Seeing the beautiful sea view of Sai Kung and having a picnic under the blue sky is tiring, but it's worth it! On Ping Grassland is surrounded by mountains such as Ma On Shan, Tai Kin Chung, Lu Nest Shan and Shi Ya Shan. It is part of Ma On Shan Siu Yee Park. I took the Tuen Mun Line to Ma On Shan Station, took Ma On Shan Village Bus NR84 near the New Harbor City Bus Terminal, got off at the terminal "Ma On Shan Village" as the starting point, followed the instructions to Ang Ping uphill, On Ping is actually a family-friendly route with a difficulty index of 1 star, and the whole journey is mainly stone roads. After about 15 minutes walk from the pavilion, you will see the Great Golden Bell, and then you will reach the On Ping Grassland, which is a rare highland plain in Hong Kong. Due to its flat and vast location, the grassland has become a camp and viewing platform managed by the Department of Fisheries, Agriculture and Nature Conservation. From On Ping, you can overlook the city of Sai Kung and the Sai Kung Sea, as well as the views of the Sai Kung Sea area, including large and small islands such as Qiu Tsui Chau and Yuen Sai Chau, the West Bar of the Wan Yi Reservoir, and even the distant Erratic Peak. A patch of lush green grass attracts many people to come for a picnic, where you can watch the unparalleled beautiful scenery and enjoy how the paragliders take off. If you want to challenge the difficulty again, you can climb the Great Golden Bell again, but I don't have that good physical strength, so I walked back down the hill to the Great Water Well while bathing towards Sai Kung. Most of the roads down the mountain are stone roads. After all, we are getting tired on the return journey. We all need to be extra careful #familygoodplaces #HongKonggoodplaces #localtour #hikinggoods

Ngong Ping Prairie (Ngong Ping Plateau) is a rare plain located in the highlands. Ngong Ping Prairie is backed by the Great Admiralty Mountain and faces the Sai Kung Strait. This Ngong Ping Plateau, backed by mountains and facing the sea, is a popular camping spot. From enjoying the sunset to staying overnight to watch the sunrise, the scenery is super beautiful. The strong winds also make the Ngong Plateau a popular destination for paragliding. There are silver grass and cow grass everywhere in the Ngong Ping campsite. Spread a checkered cloth and have a picnic on the Ngong Ping grassland, which is closest to the blue sky and white clouds. It feels so cool! #Ma'anshan #Angping Grassland #Ngong Ping Plateau #Hiking #paragliding 🪂

A hot spot for hiking! There is also the famous Maoping Vine King, which is really spectacular! #GreenTravel #Saigon in an instant

This time we introduce you to an easy hiking route, the Ma On Shan Family Trail located inside Ma On Shan Country Park. This time we chose to start from Heng On Estate. It only takes about 40 minutes to walk to the Family Trail. The countryside trail has an observation deck, which allows you to enjoy the scenery around Tung Lo Harbor, Sha Tin and Ma On Shan. The scenery is beautiful. I recommend this simple and easy hiking route to everyone. #LocalTravel #HongKongGood Places #ConsumerVoucherStrategy

This time we introduce this BB-level hiking route to you, the Ma On Shan Family Fun Trail located in Ma On Shan Country Park. The route is only 3 kilometers long and takes just over 1 hour to complete, making it a perfect route for hikers. From the point of departure, you can take the NR84 village bus from New Harbor City to Ma On Shan Village to start your journey. The road condition of this route is very good, very easy to walk, and you can see Ma On Shan along the way. In good weather, you can also see Tung Lo Harbor and Sha Tin. I recommend this route that is suitable for everyone to come for hiking and picnics on vacation! #LocalTravel #HikingRoute Recommendations

The stone forest is the biggest of its kind in Hong Kong and climbing over it is absolutely a big challenge. There are many strange looking rocks. One looks like a big crocodile with its mouth wide open and one like a dragon boat. Reaching the top of Ngong Ping Campsite, an open plateau where paragliding is constantly taken place. If you are interested in something weir, that twisting big tree with many branches stretching out is definitely worth a visit. Together with the hollow tree next to it makes the whole places eerie.

From the barbecue site of Ma On Shan Country Park, walk along the Family Trail and then turn into the Yan Valley Maze Trail. There are many shades along the way and several open spots in the middle, which are suitable for taking photos. It is relatively easy to walk. I recommend a half-day tour for parents and children. My daughter accompanied me and she became my father's professional model. I took a lot of beautiful photos. Some sections of the road were a bit slanted and slippery when going down the mountain. I still need more practice and experience to have a bright future, hahahaha! #Hiking route recommendations #Local tours

This time we introduce you to a more difficult hiking route, which is Hanging Hand Rock located in Ma On Shan Country Park. We started from Ma On Shan Country Park. There are uphill dirt roads along the way, and the further we go, the steeper we need to use our hands and feet. You can enjoy the beautiful view of Northeast New Territories when you reach Hanging Hand Rock. Fortunately, the weather was nice when we went that day, so it wasn't too dangerous! However, it was very tiring halfway up, but when I reached the top of the mountain with such a beautiful view, I decided to survive it and continue up the mountain! I recommend this not easy route to everyone! #High Altitude Viewing #Local Tour #Outdoor Good Places #Star Writers Rush Rush

Wong Ni Tau > Hua Sin Hang > Wong Niu Shan > Wong Niu Shek City > Stone Skylight > Section 4 of the MacLeod Trail > Hua Mok Pass > Hua Xin Hang > Wong Ni Tau I have been admiring Yellow Bull Stone City for a long time. Climb Yellow Bull Hill and look for stone skylights. The stacked boulders with different shapes will open your mind and unleash your imagination. Continue descending from the stone skylight to connect to the fourth section of the MacLeod Trail. This section is steeper and gravel, making it easy to slip. Special caution is required. #Hiking #Local Tour

Uncle has really hiked a lot more during the pandemic in the last two years, and it has basically become a designated action that he will do every week! This time I want to introduce this Ma On Shan Country Park, located in Ma On Shan, Sha Tin! Ma On Shan Country Park is very large, running through Section 4 of the Left Wai Yi Sin Trail and Section 4 of the MacLeod Trail. In summary, this route is not difficult, relatively easy to walk not hard, very suitable for a family together! #wintertrip #countryside #localtrip #where to go in December #hongkong

When we talk about Ma On Shan Country Park, we can't mention On Ping Prairie. However, this On Ping is not the one in Lantau! Last time Uncle went to this On Ping Prairie, in addition to the beautiful scenery, he also saw many people camping and paragliding. On Ping Grand Prairie is the 4th section of the MacLeod Trail, to walk up and back about 4-5 hours, but not difficult to walk, the scenery along the way is very beautiful, even on holidays are not too many people, highly recommended for beginners to come here hiking! #wintertrip #countryside #localtour #where to go in December #attraction photography guide #hongkonggoodplaces

The long-lost countryside trip🏔 This time we went to On Ping Grassland located in Ma On Shan Country Park The walk up was not difficult for me as a beginner in hiking You can walk up to the camp in about half an hour or so There are many people who will fly kites, walk dogs, and picnic on it To go down the hill, you can turn back the same way or walk down towards Sai Kung However, the roads are mostly untidy stone mountain roads~ 。 #wintertrip #countryside #localtour #hongkonggoodplaces

Ma On Shan Country Park is a relatively quiet suburban attraction, one of the reasons may be its remote location. Although there are not many people, the environment is quiet and beautiful, and it is nice to relax here. There is also a stone spring path in the park where you can walk and massage the soles of your feet🥳. When the epidemic situation improves, you can also invite friends to enjoy the barbecue area in the park, which is also a good choice😁 #香港好去地方 #热夏好去地方 Location: Ma On Shan Country Park #香港好去地方#热夏好去地方

Address: Ma On Shan Old Iron Mine Site Environment/Facilities: Dense jungle Highlights: Hidden gem Cost per person: Free Rating: 7/10 While walking from Ma On Shan Country Park towards the Saddle Peak Exploration Pavilion, you will pass a T-junction. At the junction, there is a brown signpost indicating directions—one leading to Heng On Estate and the other to Ngong Ping. Head towards Ngong Ping for about 20 meters, and on the left side near the grass, you will find a low stone railing. Cross over the railing and walk straight into the grass for about 5 minutes to reach the old iron mine entrance. Due to years of neglect and abandonment, the entrance has been sealed off, and visiting inside is not recommended as it may pose certain dangers. However, you can still witness the original appearance of the Ma On Shan mine from earlier years. Nearby, there are also two abandoned mining buildings that are worth exploring.

Ma On Shan Country Trail combines natural landscapes, geological wonders, and historical relics, making it an ideal hiking route for intermediate hikers. Spanning Ma On Shan and Sai Kung districts, the trail offers breathtaking mountain views, unique red soil formations, and a distant view of the Pat Sin Leng mountain range. The summit of Ma On Shan, named for its saddle-like shape, is steep yet offers stunning vistas that are truly invigorating. Along the way, hikers can explore remnants of Hong Kong's mining history, including old mine entrances and iron ore relics, providing a glimpse into the city's industrial past. During spring and summer, wildflowers bloom along the trail, creating a picturesque scene against the blue sky and mountain shadows—perfect for photography and sightseeing. Compared to popular spots like Lion Rock or Victoria Peak, Ma On Shan is quieter and more pristine, ideal for those seeking tranquility and a deeper connection with nature. This trail is not just about hiking; it's a profound experience to rejuvenate the soul and uncover the hidden natural beauty of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is China's largest international metropolis, with the highest urbanization rate in the country. In most people's eyes, it's a city even more frenetic than Shanghai, synonymous with skyscrapers, an international harbor, and a global financial center. However, Hong Kong is more than just that. It also has many pristine fishing villages and beaches. It's hard to imagine finding such scenery in a major metropolis, which makes it truly extraordinary. Sai Kung is one of Hong Kong's few remaining pristine coastal areas, with relatively untouched fishing villages and incredibly clean beaches. A day of hiking here can be an incredibly refreshing experience. Want to come and see for yourself? 1. Must-see attractions: Sai Kung Town Centre, Sai Kung East Country Park, MacLehose Trail, Sai Kung Seafood Market, Sai Kung Waterfront Park, Sai Kung Public Pier, Little Hawaii Trail, Clear Water Bay Peninsula, Ngau Tau Wan (Cow's Head Bay), Basalt Island's Glass Waters, Hap Mun Bay, Ngau Tau Waterfall, Ma On Shan Country Park, and many other attractions. 2. Recommended length of visit: Sai Kung is the largest district in Hong Kong, with a wealth of attractions to explore. We recommend spending 2–3 days here. If you just want to see the Sai Kung waterfront and fishing villages, you can consider a 1-day trip. 3. Hiking routes: Day 1: Explore Sai Kung Town Centre, the Sai Kung Seafood Market and Pier, Sai Kung Waterfront Park, Sai Kung Public Pier, and Sai Kung East Country Park. Day 2: Take a boat from Sai Kung Public Pier to Basalt Island, Ngau Tau Island (Cow's Head Island), and Hap Mun Bay to admire the glass waters and sea waterfalls. Day 3: Spend a full day exploring Section 1 of the MacLehose Trail, Ma On Shan Country Park, Little Hawaii Trail, and Clear Water Bay Peninsula. 4. Transportation: There are direct buses from Sha Tin Centre to Sai Kung Bus Terminus. The bus stop is right in Sai Kung Town Centre. To reach Hap Mun Bay, Ngau Tau Wan (Cow's Head Bay), and Basalt Island, you must take a boat. You can negotiate the price with local fishermen. 5. Accommodation: There are a few guesthouses in Sai Kung Town Centre. Camping is also permitted in some areas of the MacLehose Trail. However, there are no large hotels. Accommodation can be a challenge when exploring Sai Kung in depth, so it's worth spending some time researching and planning. 6. Dining: Sai Kung has a thriving culinary scene, with plenty of places to eat. There are various tea restaurants and seafood restaurants. You can also buy fresh seafood and have it cooked at a seafood restaurant for a processing fee, which is very cost-effective. 7. Precautions: Sai Kung is relatively undeveloped, so safety is paramount. Wherever you go, avoid sparsely populated areas, or travel with companions. Safety always comes first. While hiking in Sai Kung is enjoyable, personal safety is more important. Let me emphasize this again!

There is only one mountain trail, so just follow the navigation the whole way.

Personally, I suggest you walk up, there is shade all the way, very relaxing! ! !

#NewYear2024 During the festival, I ate a lot of fried and greasy food. The best thing to do is to go hiking. This time I went to Ma On Shan Country Park, which is located at Sha Tin Wai Station. The trail is very convenient. It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to walk around. The road along Sha Tin Wai is all slopes. There are stairs at the top of the mountain. If you want to walk to Wong Tai Sin, it will take about two hours.

Ma On Shan Country Park is located in the eastern New Territories, connecting Sai Kung Country Park and Lion Rock Country Park. There are many popular hiking routes, and one of the more rugged and difficult ones is the one that goes through the mountains near Ma On Shan (702 meters), including Diaoshou Rock (588 meters), Niu Ya Shan (677 meters) and Tai Kam Chung (534 meters). The mountain climbing path is dangerous, and there are many floating sand and gravel when going down the mountain. There are cliffs on both sides of some mountain paths, which are somewhat dangerous. It is not suitable for novices, and it is not recommended to go alone. What attracts us to Ma'anshan, besides the opportunity to challenge the intermediate-level routes, is the scenery along the way. Hiking routes of Diao Shou Yan, Niu Ya Shan, Ma On Shan and Tai Kam Chung Ma On Shan Country Park ► Diao Shou Yan ► Niu Ya Shan ► Ma On Shan ► Tai Kam Chung ► Ngong Ping Campsite ► Ma On Shan Country Park Overlooking Ma On Shan and enjoying the scenery of Sai Kung This route is very scenic. The first section overlooks the scenery of Ma On Shan and Tolo Harbour, while the middle and later sections offer views of Sai Kung, with an almost endless view. Being high up in Ma On Shan, you can overlook the high-rise buildings in Ma On Shan and Sha Tin. On the other side, you can also enjoy the scenery of Sai Kung Peninsula, Pak Sha Wan and Port Shelter. The blue sea and blue sky there complement each other, forming a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle of the city on the other side. It reminds us of the scenery under the high mountains in the west of Hong Kong Island, where you can also enjoy the suburban scenery. Although it didn't rain on the day of departure, the clouds were thick at some point and it didn't clear up until the end of the route, which wasted the open views of this route. I strongly recommend that friends who plan to take this route must choose a day with clear weather before setting off. This time, we set out in late autumn on purpose, firstly because the weather was cooler, and secondly to see the Miscanthus. This route is open and has little shade along the way, so you should think twice if you plan to go there in the summer, and you also need to take adequate sun protection measures. Even in autumn, we did not dare to neglect our efforts. In addition to sunscreen, we also brought more water than usual. The autumn wind blows, and before we know it, it is the season when the Miscanthus is in full bloom. The Miscanthus we passed by this time was even more unexpected. The Miscanthus was in full bloom on the mountain, and the Miscanthus between Niuya Mountain and Ma'an Mountain was the most spectacular. The golden Miscanthus, as tall as a person, covered the mountaintops and swayed in the wind. It was like a fairyland in the silver waves. #Ma On Shan #HongKongHikingRoutes #HongKong #WeekendTrip #trip #Relax #Hiking #HikingRouteRecommendations #HikingSpots #Check-In #Check-InSpots #Check-InHotSpots

transportation Take NR84 village bus or taxi from Sunshine City and get off at Ma On Shan Country Park Barbecue Area or Ma On Shan Village Ma On Shan is located in Sai Kung District, New Territories and is 702 meters high. Ma On Shan has two peaks, the main peak is called "Ma Tou Peak" (also known as Ma'an Tou), and the secondary peak is "Niu Ya Shan" (also known as Ma'an Wei), which is about 677 meters high. There is an arc shaped like a saddle between the main peak and the secondary peak, so it is called Ma'anshan. Hiking routes Climb up the mountain from the trail behind Ma'anshan BBQ Site and carefully move towards the first obstacle, the "cliff". Before reaching the cliff, there is a steep straight slope to overcome, which is frightening. After successfully climbing the cliff, we crossed a very narrow ridge, passed the two peaks of Ma On Shan, and enjoyed the magnificent view of Qi Ling Xia Hai in Sai Kung. When descending from Ma'anshan to Maijing, looking back, you can see the steep ridge of Matou Peak, which is definitely a spectacular sight. #nightview #goodplacesinhongkong #weekendtrip #like #hiking #Ma On Shan #hkhikingroutesinhongkong #Hongkong

In fact, there are silver grasses growing everywhere on the hilltops of Hong Kong. You don’t have to flock to Tai Tung Shan to see them. Just walk along different mountain trails in Hong Kong in autumn and you may find a new place to see silver grasses. “Discovering” and “exploring” are also one of the pleasures of hiking.

Long hike from maon shan to saikung

Friends who usually travel by car to Wu Kai Sha area will probably pass by this attraction near Sai Sha Road, the muddy and rocky beach. The environment is quiet and beautiful, far away from the concrete jungle. Even from Wu Kai Sha Station, you can walk there in half an hour. The scenery is unique when taking photos at the Broken Bridge, which is known as the Hong Kong version of the Sky Mirror. But remember to wear suitable shoes to avoid getting your shoes full of mud. It’s a pity that in recent years there have been expansion projects in the Xisha Highway area, which have affected the natural ecological environment. If you go east along the coast, you can reach Nichong Beach, and if you go west, you can reach Nichong Pier, each with its own characteristics. Address: Xisha Road, Ma'anshan Cost: Free Rating: 8 out of 10 #UnbeatableSeaView #LocalTour

It takes about 3 hours to walk from Ma On Shan to Sai Kung. There are concrete roads or stairs along the way, which is relatively easy. You can take a break to take a picnic and take pictures. You can also see many people camping there. I saw a lot of cows before, today I don't see them, but a lot of 💩🤣. When you walk to Sai Kung, you can go to a cafe to eat. The food at this Shibataro cafe is delicious and beautiful! Recommended~ #Ma On Shan On Ping #Hiking
