The path the attention is soon with the beauty of the forest trail and the breathtaking vistas. You'll be on shaded path in forest for most of the hike but every now and then the view opens up to the urban jungle of the Kowloon Peninsula down below. On clear days the skyline of Hong Kong Island is visible, and the former Kai Tak Airport, now fitted with a cruise terminal. Then finally, a climb over the rocky back of the Lion – the city stretched out below.
