Nicole Mok
★★★★★5 months agoQuite a challenging hike as it is all steep steps the whole way up. We had an overcast day but can imagine on warmer days it is more difficult. Bring plenty of water and wear comfortable shoes. Took is about 2 hours with my 60 year old dad! Amazing views at the top make it all worth it. No restrooms available on the journey but available at the start from 8am-4pm.

★★★★★8 years agoVery nice area for a good hike with breathtaking views. In comparison to Victoria Peak it is completely different, but I prefer lion rock: there are no buildings, you are in the nature, and there are just a few other visitors (we were alone there most of the time) Bring enough water and sun protection if it’s a sunny day(recommended however to get a clear view)
