[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Devil's Peak (Updated Mar)

📍Address: Section 3 of Wilson Trail, Yau Tong 🏖️Environment: Stunning sea view 💰Cost per person: Free 💞Recommended reason: Beginner-friendly hiking route After resupplying at Yau Tong Station, you can lightly pack and head to Devil's Mountain. Despite its name, Devil's Mountain is not as treacherous as it sounds. It takes just over an hour to reach the peak. From Ko Chiu Road, head up the vehicle road to Tseung Kwan O Cemetery, then turn left to go up the mountain. After climbing several hundred steps and passing through a dim mountain path, just when you feel like taking a break, you'll see a bright and open viewing spot where you can overlook the entire Tseung Kwan O Cemetery and Tseung Kwan O Bridge. Another path leads to the wartime battery ruins, and continuing up will bring you to the top viewing platform. Leaning against the stone wall, you can gaze out at the endless sky and sea, taking in the breathtaking views.

#hongkongtrip This hike was very interesting. It has a lot of history behind it and if you take the time to look through the hidden paths, it is definitely worth it. The view at the top of devils peak is also quite beautiful you can see almosr 180 degees view from Tseng Kwan O to Western District (Hong Kong Island) to Hung Hum I highly recommend this Hike for a break from the busy Hong Kong City life Nearest Station Yau Tong MTR Station. Historical area with ruins

There are multiple exits from the Devil's Peak. One of them is to extend your hiking journey to Lei Yue Mun villages. Getting back to the starting point of Wilson Trail and then turn left. Walking down along the concrete road, you will find the little path to the villages in Lei Yue Mun. It is a quiet green path with remains of previous villages appear in the mid of the route. And when you come across with the new ones and the farmland, it means you are arriving soon. Lei Yue Mun (鯉魚門) is consisted of a few villages with houses built along the seaside and also up to the hills. - Sam Ka Tsuen (三家村) - Ma Pui Tsuen (馬背村) - Ma San Tsuen (媽山村) - Ma Wan Tsuen (馬環村)

Route: From Yau Tong to the Devil's Peak Difficulty: 2.5/5 Duration: 1 hour The most difficult part is the beginning which is the ordinarily paved sloppy road. After 15 to 20 minutes, you will find the real starting point, i.e. section 3 of the Wilson Trail. Effort pays off - the beautiful seaview is not far away then. You can see the typhoon shelter at Lei Yue Mun, both at Yau Tong and Shau Kei Wan, the opposite side at the HK island. Lei Yue Mun 鯉魚門 is actually a short channel forming the eastern entrance of Victoria Harbour. #hkkol #hkiger #hkinfluencer #hongkong #hk #hike #hiking #hkblogger #sea #cityview #explorehongkong #seaview #view #hongkongexplore #homekong #harbour #seaside#view #discoverhongkong #typhoonshelter #hike

"Devil's Mountain" sounds like an adventure place in fairy tales, but I never thought that there is a mountain called Devil's Mountain in reality! The official name of Devil's Hill is Fortress Hill, located between Yau Tong and Tiu Keng Leng, with an altitude of 222 meters! Devil's Hill is a place full of historical traces. There you can find abandoned forts and dilapidated bunkers. You can feel the history of Hong Kong while hiking! It is said that more than a hundred years ago, Devil's Mountain was called "Chicken Mountain". At that time, the area was occupied by pirates who often robbed merchant ships. It is said that the title "Devil" was used to describe the pirates at that time. Over time, the mountain was named "Devil's Mountain"! Later, Devil's Hill became a government military base, so the official name was changed from "Chicken Hill" to "Paotai Hill"! Devil's Hill has important strategic value. It controls the entrance to the eastern waterway of Victoria Harbour and has a distant view of the eastern part of Hong Kong Island. Therefore, in 1898, after the British leased the New Territories, they turned Devil's Hill into a military stronghold and built a series of defense facilities. The Devil's Hill Battery consists of the Devil's Hill Fort, Gough Battery and Pottinger Battery. The Devil's Hill military facilities have now been listed as a Grade II historical building! Transportation to Devil's Mountain: This time, the Devil's Hill hiking route will depart directly from Exit A1 of Yau Tong MTR Station, so there is no need to take other means of transportation! Note: Although the official name of Devil's Hill is Fortress Hill, the location is not at Fortress Hill Station! Summary of walking route: Yau Tong Station > Devil's Hill Fort > Gough Fort > Yau Tong Station (return along the original route) If you don’t want to go hiking too early like me, you might as well choose a short and easy route. This route is very suitable for night owls who want to hike but don’t want to walk a lot or for a long time! Small thoughts: The road from Yau Tong to Devil's Hill is very easy and relaxing. Not only can you see the urban scenery of Yau Tong, Tseung Kwan O, the eastern part of Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, but also military relics such as the Gough Battery and Devil's Hill Fort. You can also watch the sunset! This time I preferred to visit historical sites rather than hike. If I had known, I would have set off earlier and included Pottinger Fort and Mao Wu Tsai Fort in the itinerary! But it may not be so easy then😂 #localtourism #hk hiking spots #hk places to go #outdoor spots #devil's hill #devil's hill hiking #devil's hill battery #military monuments
