Description
Of the many Hong Kong rock climbing sites, Lion Rock ranks the best without a doubt. This iconic 495 m rock offers jaw-dropping views of the cityscape, taking our sight as far as Victoria Harbor. Join us, as we take on this majestic rock on our day trip.
Symbolic of solidarity and an undying spirit of the people of Hong Kong, the Lion Rock became popular in the ’80s after a pop song featured it. Since then, it has gained popularity worldwide as an outstanding climbing destination.
It has an excellent environment for a multi-pitch climb and is considered one of the most challenging rocks in the city. Several routes of moderate to high difficulty level are available including Gweilo, Prelude, Unemployment Line or Reunion II. Most of these are 5- pitch routes which test you both physically and mentally. So, it is best to have a fit body and previous climbing experience before scaling this one.
Our climb will take us via the west face of Lion Rock Crag. This face provides spectacular vistas of the Kowloon City.
We will begin in Kowloon. From there, we’ll head towards the Lion Rock Garden and start an hour-long hike to the climbing site. Once there, a brief about the skill and safety measures follows. And you are all set to conquer!
We’ll continue to climb gradually to reach the top. It will be both daunting and thrilling to see sweeping views of the city from such great a height!
After enjoying your time, you will descend, having ticked-off one item from your bucket list.
So, what is taking you so long? Send a message right now to join us on this incredible Hong Kong rock climbing adventure on Lion Rock. We will be happy to guide you.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
