Cloudy Hill Information

Start from the barbecue site by the Hok Tau Management Centre. Walk along Hok Tau Road towards Lau Shui Heung Reservoir. The reflection of Paper-bark trees in the reservoir is memorable, while the natural landscape around Lau Shui Heung Reservoir is so attractive that it is sometimes known as the little Guilin of Hong Kong. Follow the gentle path to Kat Tsai Shan Au. It is then followed by a steep slope uphill towards Cloudy Hill. The route is physically demanding and visitors should proceed according to their own ability. At the top of Cloudy Hill, there are wonderful views to the south and southeast, over Tai Po, Tolo Harbour and across to Ma On Shan - so the climb is worth the extra effort. From Cloudy Hill, a path winds down to the valley of Sha Lo Tung with wonderful views on all sides.

The 78 km Wilson Trail, heading from Stanley on Hong Kong Island to Nam Chung in Sha Tau Kok, is divided into 10 stages. If you are looking for grand landscape, the stage that crosses Cloudy Hill is your choice. As you tame the 400m summit, vistas gradually open up. Your gaze reaches as far as Ma On Shan on the opposite side, Pat Sin Leng in the northeast, and Hong Kong's highest peak : Tai Mo Shan.
