Why it's worth it:
--------------------------
Get off at the Pik Uk (prison) stop. Then take the pedestrian walkway over the road and keep going in the same direction the bus was going (towards Sai Kung)

Shell station @ Razor Hill Road is on the right is about 50m away. Take a right on Razor Hill Road.


Right behind the Shell station, there's a grocery store, if you want to stock-up on water and munchies


At the very end of Razor Hill Road, you will find this dead-end with a narrow pedestrian path on the left. Take it

You will find a little park with a gazebo and benches. The path is behind. It is quite steep but relatively short (about 400m distance, and 110m ascent)

The very top!
