港島徑第五段（畢拿山）Hong Kong Trail Section 5 (Mount Butler)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

After climbing 555 steps from the Quarry Pass Pavilion (toilet, washbasin and seating) one has a spectacular view of East Kowloon Bay towards the former Kai Tak Airport. The trail is well trodden and signposted. I would not recommend it in wet weather as it can get very slick and slippery at times.

Jardine's Lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

Viewpoint with an overwhelming view of Hong Kong. Take lots of water with you, because there are steep slopes and hardly any shade!
