Tsing Yi Sam Chi Heung (青衣三支香), also known as Tsing Yi Peak (青衣山), is located on the south side of Tsing Yi Island, in the New Territories of Hong Kong. The hiking trail goes through the three peaks and has an elevation gain of 333m. “Sam Chi Heung” means three joss sticks in Cantonese. The mountain got its name from the silhouette of the three peaks which has the same profile as the three joss sticks used in religious rituals when praying for blessings. This Tsing Yi hiking trail is easy as it is mostly made of paved paths and stairs. But you decide to descend down the Tsing Yi Peak on the southeast side of the island, the trail gets much more difficult. But along the way, you can see different rock formations and panoramic views of Tsing Yi, Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. In this post, I’ll show you exactly how to hike Tsing Yi Sam Chi Heung from north to south. Moreover, I will show you how you can hike this trail and Tsing Yi Nature Trails on the same day. 📍How to get to the start of Tsing Yi Sam Chi Heung Hike If you are only hiking Tsing Yi Peak, take the MTR to Tsing Yi Station first. Then take Exit A1 and walk towards Maritime Square 2. Tsing Yi Station Bus Terminus can be accessed through the shopping mall. Look for the bus stop for bus 68E or 279X and take either bus to Ching Wan Court on Tsing Yi Road West. The west entrance of Sai Shan Country Trail is next to the bus stop. Bus 68E and 279X: from Tsing Yi Station Bus Terminus to Ching Wan Court Time: 6 minutes (every 10-30 minutes) Cost: $11.7HKD (68E) and $15.8HKD (279X) (use Octopus card) Check: KMB website for bus 68E and 279X for more information And if you are hiking both Tsing Yi Nature Trails and Tsing Yi Peak on the same day, all you have to do is cross Tsing Yi Road West at the end of Tsing Yi Nature Trail, walk 2 minutes north, and find Sai Shan Country Trail entrance on the right. #guidbook #pindlegemsindonesia #hongkong #explore #country2
