Lion Rock Hike DIY Hongkong

LION ROCK, Kowloon, Hong kong MTR Ride, From Jordan station, go to Yau Ma Tei, from there go to Kowloon Tong, and ride a Mini Bus going to Lion Rock Starting point. Drivers know where the starting point is. If you’ll be coming from Won Tai Sin MTR station, Exit B3.,after that, it will be an hour walkathon.

Most bloggers are not recommending Lion Rock to beginners.

Well, It ’s easier compared to our mountains here in Philippines. My mother mountain is Mt. Ulap which is 1846m while Lion Rock is just 495m, and i was able to reached the summit of Mt. Ulap and I’m not saying it’s easy.

Prepare, again prepare! Remember you’re out of your country and you’re not even sure if there will be someone to be there for you in case..( most especially if you’re a solo traveler with asthma like me )

Well fortunately three filipina women living in hong kong hike with me. And i can really say, We never travel alone, The world our full of friends waiting to get to know you. Thank you!

This Lion Rock Diy hike will take 3-5 hrs depending on your fitness level and if you’re going to have a photoshoot up there! lol

My budget for this?

2400php RT (cebpac seat sale)

1620php travel tax ( if you’re going to pay online there will be additional charges )

2400php 3N4D Guest house ( booking.com)

1751php RT Crystal Cable car same day ticket (klook)

900php Cotai jet HK to macau (day sailing)

1,140php Cotai jet macau to Hk (night sailing)

350php 4g HK simcard

648hp octopus card with 50hkd credit(klook)

So what’s octopus card, It is a card you can use to pay anything in HK with the minimum reload of 50hkd in any 711.

I paid travel tax, ferry ticket and Guest house in cash but the rest using credit card

1620 + 900 + 1140 + 2500 = 6160php
Credit Card 5149phpp
5149 + 6160 = 11,300 + pocket money

Why naia t3 stopped me and asked if i have rock on my bag?
