Route Description
This is a south-eastern hiking trail leading to Lion Rock (獅子山). This route is short and close to the city but it still has very good scenery. This route is not very mediocre, it takes visitors some climbing. It is very good for a half-day exercise.

The trail is getting interesting, you have to overcome some big rocks.

This pile of big rocks are dubbed "Sky Ladder (天梯)". The name is a little bit exaggerating. The rocky "ladder" is moderately steep but it is not long at all. It is fun to climb on the Sky Ladder. If you are not interested in the ladder at all, you can by-pass it on your right.

Here is a rock dubbed Sky Horse Rock (天馬石).
