Tiger's Head Challenge – A Summit Escape from Discovery Bay to Mui Wo

Join us for a scenic 10.2km point-to-point hike from Discovery Bay to Mui Wo via the Tiger's Head (Lo Fu Tau) Country Trail. We'll climb to the 465m summit for wide views of Lantau, Hong Kong Island, and the outlying islands, then continue downhill past Silvermine Waterfall to Mui Wo. The hike takes around 5 hours at a steady pace, including breaks.

Who should sign up?
This is a steady-paced hike with significant climbing – suitable for hikers with good basic fitness and some hiking experience. The route includes steep sections, loose gravel, and rocky paths near the summit. We'll maintain a steady pace with breaks, but this is a proper workout with rewarding views.

Hike Description:
We'll meet at Discovery Bay Ferry Pier and make our way through Discovery Bay Plaza before joining the trail up via Pak Fung Path and the Discovery Bay Viewing Point. From there, we'll continue climbing toward Lo Fu Tau (老虎頭) – the "Tiger's Head" – a 465m peak named for its distinctive rock formation resembling a tiger's head. The summit offers 360-degree views over Discovery Bay, Penny's Bay, and the outlying islands. After a well-deserved break, we'll descend via the Lo Fu Tau Country Trail, passing the old Silvermine Cave and Silvermine Waterfall, before finishing at Mui Wo.
