Route Description

This trip covered two hills. Both are rather easy. If each hills were considered individually, I would put these two hills under Easy Walk section. It is however, the route connecting Razor Hill and Mauwushan is rather challenging so I gives this route two stars difficult level.

At the altitude of about 190m, you will find a exit path on your left. That path will take you back to Luk Wu Hiking Trail.

8

233M

This is Mauwushan (茅湖山) top. It is furnished as another ideal place for morning exercise. This hill top has nothing special but it has something worth checking out: an abandoned outpost.

220M

From the construction style, this outpost was probably built in the early days of British occupation. It is bad that it is now tainted by graffiti.
