About Tai Mo Shan

Standing 957 metres, Tai Mo Shan is Hong Kong’s highest peak. Enveloping this massif is 1,440 hectares of natural territory, designated as the Tai Mo Shan Country Park. Established in 1979, the park borders Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve in the east and Shing Mun Country Park in the south. To the west is Route Twisk and Tai Lam Country Park just beyond the highway. To the north is the old valley of Lam Tsuen.

Tai Mo Shan is the coldest place in the territory. During cold spells when temperature drops to near freezing point, many people drive up here to see frost, a rare sight in sub-tropical Hong Kong

Concept

Hong Kong

Although Hong Kong is one of the world’s metropolis, out of the total 1 108 square kilometres of land, about three-quarters is countryside. Scenically, Hong Kong has a great deal to offer: a landscape rising from sandy beaches and rocky foreshores to heights of almost 1 000 metres, woodlands and mountain ranges covered by open grassland and a variety of scenic vistas rarely, if ever, matched in so small a territorial unit.

Natural Environment

In Hong Kong, there are more than 3,100 species of vascular plants, of which about 2,100 are native;some 50 species of mammals; over 500 species of birds; about 80 species of reptiles and more than 20 amphibian species. Insect diversity is also very high with more than 230 species of butterflies and around 115 species of dragonflies. This race aims to cultivate respect towards the natural environment through the outdoor sport of trail running.
