Victoria Peak is known as one of the best spots to enjoy the Hong Kong cityscape at night. However, not many people know that Section 4 of the Wilson Trail offers equally stunning views. From Tung Shan Pavilion, you can watch the sun bid the city good evening as it illuminates the entire Kowloon East. Stretching from Tseng Lan Shue to Sha Tin Pass, the route starts amidst cool woodland and a flat ancient trail that connects Ho Chung, Sai Kung to Kowloon. Once the main route for villagers to get to Kowloon, the ancient trail leads to the village of Tai Lam Wu, where – if you’re lucky- might spot the Common Birdwing, the largest butterfly in Hong Kong. The end of the catchwater marks the beginning of the most challenging sections of the route, climbing the Tung Yeung Shan. In autumn and winter, Silvergrass blooms on the hilltop, creating a striking contrast to the shaded woodland at the start of the trail. The hilltop scenery is spectacular: in front, Kowloon Peak (Fei Ngo Shan) and Middle Hill (Cheung Shan) ranged in a line while at the back is the picturesque Pak Sha Wan. A brief walk from Fei Ngo Shan Road to Tung Shan will take you to a pavilion overlooking Kowloon East and former Kai Tak Airport, offering spectacular views of Lion Rock and Beacon Hill. Continue along Sha Tin Pass Road, and soon you will reach Sha Tin Pass. From there, you can drop by the Lover’s Rock at Kwun Yum Temple to pray for a happy marriage before heading downhill towards Tsz Wan Shan.
