The new crown pneumonia epidemic has enveloped the entire year of 2020. Many citizens went to the mountains to escape the epidemic, hiking and outings, causing crowds in the countryside of Hong Kong.
Looking back on 2020, what are the hiking hotspots popular among Hong Kong people?
Some are scenic spots that must be crowded every year, such as Dadongshan and Datong, and some are new check-in spots this year, such as Green Egg Island.
1. Huangniu Mountain
Huangniu Mountain is 604 meters high and is located between Siu Lek Yuen and Sai Kung in Sha Tin, within the boundaries of Ma On Shan Country Park.
Huangniu Mountain itself is not a popular hiking spot, but in recent years, more and more people have gone to Huangniu Rock City, and the reputation of Huangniu Rock City has become more and more popular. Among them, the stone skylight has become a check-in spot.
At the beginning of this year, people from Shitian Chuang were busy coming to the mountain to have long queues to take pictures.

Mountain hikers have already taken an obvious path from Dengdingshan Road to Shitianchuang, but the ramp approaching Shitianchuang is almost without vegetation and very slippery.
Visitors walk up to the stone skylight, some sit on the stone, and some will boldly make one-legged yoga movements on the stone.
Huangniu Mountain itself is quite high, and the roads up and down the mountain are not maintained and managed by the Fisheries and Conservation Department, making it difficult.

2. Qiandao Lake Qingjing Terrace
Ever since the Thousand Island Lake Qingjing Terrace in Tai Lam Country Park was completed last year, it has become one of the best check-in hotspots in the countryside of Hong Kong!
Firstly, the location of Ching King Terrace is indeed ideal, with a panoramic view of Tai Lam Chung Reservoir; secondly, Ching King Terrace is located next to section 10 of MacLehose Trail, not far from Tai Tong or Wat Kwan Wat, which is convenient and easy Go, suitable for a family outing.

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, whether it is weekends or leisure days, the flow of people at Qingjingtai "surpasses Mong Kok", and there are often crowds of people at the level of the upper Qingjingtai.
Qingjingtai has been crowded for a long time. Tourists stepped over the fence and opened up mountain roads on their own to find a better place to take pictures.
After two years, the hillside outside Qingjingtai has been trampled on many paths and the topsoil has been lost.
The Fisheries and Conservation Department also added fences at some locations to enclose severely washed-out areas to protect newly planted saplings.

3. Stone top
The stone top is located in Sai Kung East Country Park, on the north bank of Wan Yi Reservoir.
It is about an hour away from the second section of MacLehose Trail. In the past, it was not a popular place for outings. Tourists usually went to the nearby Langchi or Big Wave West Bay.
However, at the beginning of this year, more and more netizens on social networking sites shared photos of the top of the stone, even the TV show "Two Young Students Going to Camping" introduced it, Zhou Bohao and Yuan Weihao went up to drink coffee.

On the top of the wormstone is a wormstone, which is actually composed of hexagonal stone pillars with clear texture and uniqueness. It is also a wonder of a geopark.
Standing on the rock, you can overlook the scenery of Wanyi Reservoir, the lakes and mountains are spectacular.
The mountain road from the Mai Trail to the top of the wormwood is more rugged and has no clear signs. It is suitable for more experienced hikers.

4. Maoping Tenghuang
In Maoping, Ma'anshan Country Park, there is a vine called "Tenghuang".
It was born leaning on the toilets of the abandoned village school. The cadres were strong and sturdy, rising from the ground like a pattern, and the vine branches spread in all directions, and some of them traversed the mountain trails like cables. It was very spectacular, so it got the reputation of the vine emperor.
I hope everyone will love the vine emperor, please refrain from climbing, and don't move your hands.
If everyone crawls, I believe that it won't take long for the emperor to bear it.
Maoping Tenghuang is easy to walk. You can go up the mountain from the Meizi Forest in Ma On Shan via the ancient road, or you can go up the Beigang Ancient Road from Sai Kung. When you arrive at Maoping Au, you will see a grassland.
This grassland is the site of the Lianda Five Township Public School. Now there are pavilions and benches next to the grassland. When you walk to the corner of the grassland, there is a mysterious ribbon intersection. Walk in for a few steps and you have already seen the famous vine emperor.

5. Green Egg Island
One of the most popular outing spots this summer is the Green Egg Island, which is even introduced on the TV show "Looking Around".
Green Egg Island is located on the east coast of the Clear Water Bay Peninsula. Its real name is Rotten Pai. It is also known as Green Egg Island as one of the reefs.
The island looks like a poached egg with a green yolk, so it got its name. The nearby waters are crystal clear. It is praised as "glass water" by netizens, and tourists usually rent boats or canoe to the island.

In addition to waterways, land routes are also available.
Hikers can start from Tai Hang Dun, climb Da Ling Tong along the Lobster Bay Country Trail, and then descend along the trail to the rocky beach by the sea.
When the tide goes out, some hikers will try to wade to the island.
However, the road from the country trail to the trail to the beach is more rugged and not suitable for novices.
Green Egg Island becomes a water resort in summer, but there are no cleaners there, so visitors are invited to take away the rubbish.

6. Twisted Hole
On the coast of Xia Shan Tuk in Clear Water Bay, a new tourist attraction called Twisting Cave.
Originally, Twisted Hole was a scenic spot only for people who can kayak or tie sides. However, this year, a mountain road was opened for people to fall directly from Daaomen Road to the beach, making it easier to go to Twisted Hole. The hot spot of mountain exploration.
Going out from the cave, the stone pattern is unique, and many people like to enter the cave to punch cards.
However, Twisted Hole is not suitable for novices. For example, the mountain trails that fall by the sea are extremely rugged, and there are also reports from mountain friends who have the opportunity to encounter wasps on the road.
It is very difficult to tie the sides to the beach, and it is best to approach the twist hole when the tide is low.
You must be prepared to get wet when you go to the twist hole. Those who are not familiar with water should do what you can. In addition, it is best to bring a waterproof bag and replacement clothes.
Even so, in the holiday weekend of this summer, there are often people who check in at the twist hole.
7. Dadongshan
In the autumn and winter, every year, Dadongshan will be full of people who appreciate Miscanthus.
Viewing the awns on Dadong Mountain seems to have become an annual activity for Hong Kong citizens. From October to November, when the miscanthus is in full bloom, tourists will flock to the mountain to check in with the miscanthus.
In the Miscanthus season, every weekend, there will be long queues of people from the bus station in Tung Chung to the trail to Tai Tung Shan.

When hiking, try to walk on the current path, do not trample on miscanthus just to check in, make a trail, let alone pick miscanthus.
In addition to Miscanthus, the springboard near the top of Dadongshan has become the most prosperous check-in spot in Dadongshan this year. Many people will take pictures of thrilling actions on the springboard.

8. Dongyang Mountain
While Dadongshan is "surpassing Mong Kok", tourists are looking for other miscanthus resorts. Among them, Dongyang Mountain, next to Tate's Cairn Mountain, is a convenient choice for the city.
Dongyang Mountain is 533 meters high, and the traffic is more convenient than Dadong Mountain, and the difficulty is also lower. Visitors can walk up Fei'eshan Road, and then a short section of Wilson Trail to reach the top.
However, the Miscanthus coverage area of Dongyang Mountain is larger than that of Dongshan Mountain, mainly in the area on the top of the mountain, which can accommodate fewer tourists.
