Hong Kong’s remarkable rugged toad-shaped outcrop quietly perched on the northern side of High Island Reservoir in Sai Kung. Kam Kui Shek Teng (蠄蟝石頂), which aptly translates to “Toad Stone Peak” in Chinese, is a 150-metre hexagonal basalt column atop a mountain next to High Island Reservoir. Reachable by a moderately challenging trek from Sai Wan Pavillion, the uniquely shaped rock is a spectacular destination in itself, but what makes it really worth the trip are the unrivalled vistas it commands of High Island Reservoir and its surrounding hilly knolls.  Totalling just under six kilometres round-trip and doable in under three hours, the hike started at narrow and paved path until the unpaved terrain in the last section. As you will be expected to bushwhack your way through some dense forests and shrubbery—this means long sleeves and proper hiking shoes are a must. Much of the route is also fairly exposed, so be sure to double up on sunscreen and bring a hat to prevent sunburn! #asiatravel #discoverearth #hikingbangers #beautifullocation #earthoutdoors #explore #exploretheworld #drone #dronereels #reelshk #discoverhongkong #mountaineering #hikinglove #djiair2s #hongkongtrip #hongkongtravel #hkexplore #travelhk #beautifulhongkong #hiking #droneaddicts #dronestagram
