The Garden Hill in the Sham Shui Po Street. Its is a simple mountain route in the city. It like the urban green state.



Garden Hill Background

Although Hong Kong is small, the good places for photography are often close to the downtown area, allowing people to temporarily come out from the hustle and bustle of urban life and enjoy a moment of peace. For example, the Jiadun Mountain, which was introduced to you this time, is a small hill at the junction of Sham Shui Po and Shek Kip Mei. It is named "Garden Hill" because it is a Garton Bread Factory near the foot of the mountain.



About the route

Depart from Exit D2 of MTR Sham Shui Po MTR Station and go head towards Shek Kip Mei Estate. It takes about 12 minutes to reach the winding staircase near Mei Ho House. Walk up the stairs for about 10 minutes.


Then you can start your tour.


Journal review

Garden Hill is located in the middle of downtown, overlooking the old buildings in Kowloon. The most busy Hong Kong people, for a short time, can rest and look at the scenery, very good.

At the same time, there is a shooting location that is a horizontal platform that overlooks the city of Sham Shui Po. I suggest that going uphill after dusk is a great place to watch the sunset. It is like a spacious viewing deck. Be aware that there are no fences on the mountain side and you must pay attention to safety when shooting. In recent years, a lot of weeds have been grown on the edge of the mountain, and the Stonecutters Bridge in the distance can be photographed.


Looking down from the platform, the most eye-catching is the brightly lit Qinzhou Street. To mention everyone, because there are not many locations, and not all locations are open and crowded, so you must find a seat early when you have high photo requirements!
