這張照片用作馬鞍山鹿巢山行山攻略的文章封面圖。畫面全面展現了香港馬鞍山郊野公園內著名的「鹿巢山石林」(Luk Chau Shan Rock Forest)全景,坡面上佈滿了因漫長地質風化而崩落的巨大火山岩(凝灰岩),與周圍的矮樹叢、遠處山丘及清澈天空中飄過的白雲互相襯托。這裡以「獨木舟石」、「試劍石」等奇岩怪石聞名,是香港著名的探險健行與戶外攝影路線。

Route Overview

Chevalier Garden → Mui Tsz Lam Road → Shek Lung Tsai Ancient Path → Luk Chau Rock Forest → Ma On Shan Village → Yiu On Bus Terminus


【Start】 Kick things off from and head along . This stretch is relatively flat—perfect for a “warm-up”—and lined with dense woods that offer plenty of fresh air. Once you reach the vicinity of Mui Tsz Lam Village, you’ll spot a water gate; turn left there to enter the Ancient Path. This historic trail is well-defined and heavily marked with ribbons to guide the way. It winds through the jungle and is generally in good condition for all types of hikers. You’ll encounter a few forks in the path; keep to the right to head toward the Luk Chau Rock Forest.


【Finish】 The Luk Chau Rock Forest is the largest of its kind in Hong Kong, covering an area of 0.07km2. The rocks here come in all sorts of bizarre shapes, making for a truly spectacular 『moonscape』. Before diving into the rocks, it’s highly recommended to wear gloves, as the surfaces are rough and can easily 『shred』 your skin. There isn’t a fixed path through the forest, so feel free to explore and enjoy the 『scrambling』 fun. After navigating the stones, follow the mountain trail downhill to Village, an old settlement that still preserves many traditional buildings and heritage sites. Continue down Road and you’ll soon reach the Yiu On Bus Terminus to wrap up your adventure.
