Tai Mo Shan Road

It originates from Route Twisk and leads to (but does not terminate at) the weather station at the top of Tai Mo Shan.

Paved the whole way, the upper-most roughly 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) route is blocked by a staffed barrier gate, and is hence inaccessible to motor vehicles, except those on government or military service.

There is an enclosed restricted area in which lies at 957 metres (3,140 ft), Hong Kong's highest point, a Doppler weather radar, and communications equipment.

The section of Stage 8 between Route Twisk and the car park now starts at the Kowloon Motor Bus stop on Route Twisk and is diverted to a nearby dirt track with steps so that hikers and motorists are segregated.

However, the original route still forms part of the annual Oxfam Trailwalker to avoid confusion.
