Admiralty Hill, Saigon's Pyramid Hill

Pyramid Hill, 536.9 meters above sea level, is located between Sai Kung and Ma On Shan. It is a shortcut for climbers to Ngong Ping Grassland and Crooked Hill. It is also the most difficult route in the fourth section of the MacLehose Trail.

Climbing to the top of the Admiralty Mountain, you can overlook the Ngong Ping Grassland and the entire Sai Kung seascape.

But it is not easy to climb this mountain. The climb up and down the Golden Bell is steep and rugged. Some places are at an angle of almost 90 degrees, and there are gravels occasionally, so you need to use your hands and feet.

Every time I climb here, I am always terrified. Either the wind is blowing with a No. 3 signal and I am afraid I can’t stand steadily, or I am scared when I see my children taking every step. So I must wear non-slip shoes and mountaineering gloves when necessary.

But after reaching the top of the mountain, the beautiful scenery was in full view, and all the hard work was worth it. It not only strengthened my willpower, but also allowed me to see the beautiful scenery. The scenery in spring, summer, autumn and winter is very different. There are always some special flowers on the road in spring. However, this time, I stayed to wait for the sunset, not to waste every difficult climb.😆

🌟There is no supply on the way, be sure to prepare enough water and dry food before going up the mountain

🌟The mountain top is windy, so bring a thin jacket in spring and summer

🌟Mountaineering non-slip shoes and comfortable mountaineering clothes are the most basic equipment for hiking.

🌟If necessary, you can download the SOS App for emergency use

🌟When you go out, safety first, safety first, safety first
