Eagle’s Nest (Tsim Shan) lies in Lion Rock Country Park, a popular spot for Black Kites—dark brown raptors with pale primary patches and a distinctive dark ear mark. The family-friendly Eagle’s Nest Nature Trail starts near the 1910 Kowloon Reservoir, featuring its unique curved dam and three nearby reservoirs (total capacity 2.87 million m³). Along the path, spot the rare, Hong Kong-endemic Shiuying Bamboo (discovered here in 1981) and enjoy sweeping views of Kowloon’s skyline and Hong Kong Island peaks. Monkeys may appear—do not feed wildlife.
Discover the haunting 250-metre WWII relics trail on Smuggler’s Ridge in Shing Mun and Kam Shan Country Parks. Part of the historic Gin Drinker’s Line, it preserves British-built pillboxes, the Shing Mun Redoubt, London-named tunnels (Oxford, Regent, Shaftesbury), and bullet-scarred observation posts. Ambushed by Japanese forces in December 1941, the site still echoes the grim brutality and sorrow of war.
