The Robin’s Nest Country Park is located at Sha Tau Kok in the northeastern New Territories. With undulating mountains, dense woodland, shrubland and upland grassland, it offers breath taking natural scenery. Along the connecting path from Shan Tsui to the start point of the Robin’s Nest Country Trail, military relics from the World War II still remains. The Japanese army built pillboxes and trenches to deal with the potential counterattack of the Allies and guerrilla activities during the occupation of Hong Kong. After visiting these remnants, the journey to enjoy the stunning landscapes of mountains and sea begins.
As you hike along the trail, you soon reach Ah Kung Kok, where you will enjoy panoramic views of Sha Tau Kok and Shenzhen Yantian in a distance. Continuing on, you will reach the top of the hill, then following the ridge line until Hung Fa Chai. Along the way, you can feel sea-breeze gently brushing your face. While gazing out to the east, you can enjoy the serenity of Luk Keng, Nam Chung and Double Haven. Looking north, the stunning views of Shenzhen Wutong Mountain come in sight. When you arrive at the viewing point, take a glance of Pak Sin Leng and Wong Leng at far, then look back and take in the winding trails you have hiked, it is time to relax and enjoy the tranquil beauty of nature.
Every spring, Red Azalea blossoms on Robin’s Nest, painting the hill with patches of red creating a picturesque scene. In winter, the landscape transforms into a different color when it covers with seas of silvergrass sparkling under the sun.
