How difficult is Sunset Peak hike?
How difficult is the Sunset Peak Hike? Sunset Peak is a moderately challenging hike. Personally, it felt like a combination of the Kai Kung Leng Hike (Rooster Ridge) and the Lantau Peak Hike, but easier. Like Kai Kung Leng, the Sunset Peak Hike also involves ascending and descending a mountainous trail for over 6 km.

If Sunset Peak is not challenging enough for you, then consider hiking up Lantau Peak. It is the second-highest mountain in Hong Kong and is 934 meters above sea level.
