Kowloon Peak

On the lower slopes of Tung Yeung Shan about 1.1 miles (1.8 kilometres) to the north is the Gilwell Campsite, belonging to The Scout Association.

[4] Despite being in an easily accessible location by car and walks, there are occasional sighting reports of Burmese pythons,[5] East Asian porcupines,[6] red muntjacs[7] and wild boars.

[8] Kowloon Peak consists mainly of volcanic rocks (many of which are tuffs), and blocks of granite at the base of the mountain.

[9][10][11] In one instance, two Chinese tourists ran into trouble on Kowloon Peak's Suicide Cliff and caused an extensive rescue operation involving 160 firefighters.

[12] For casual hikers, choosing the easiest path to the summit through Fei Ngo Shan Road is recommendable.
