Facts and practical information

Cloudy Hill, a verdant escape amidst the bustling city of Hong Kong, offers a tranquil respite for nature enthusiasts and hikers alike. This hill, part of the Pat Sin Leng mountain range, stands as a natural landmark in the northeastern region of the New Territories. Known for its often mist-shrouded summit, Cloudy Hill provides a moderate challenge for hikers with its well-defined trails and rewarding panoramic views.

The hill, reaching a height of 440 meters, is accessible via the Wilson Trail, a renowned long-distance footpath in Hong Kong. The ascent begins near Tai Po and meanders through lush forests, offering glimpses of local flora and fauna. Upon reaching the summit, hikers are treated to sweeping vistas of the surrounding mountains, Tai Po district, and even the distant skyline of Shenzhen on clear days.

Cloudy Hill is not only a popular weekend destination for local residents seeking fresh air and exercise but also an attraction for tourists wanting to experience Hong Kong's natural beauty beyond the urban jungle. The hill's proximity to the city makes it a convenient yet immersive outdoor experience, blending the allure of nature with the accessibility of metropolitan living.
