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 (螭螺石項）,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.
