Fei Ngo Shan Road
Fei Ngo Shan Road (Chinese: 飛鵝山道; literally: 'Soaring Goose Mountain Road') is a hilly road in New Kowloon of Hong Kong. 'Fei Ngo Shan' is the Chinese name of Kowloon Peak.
Location
The road begins east at Clear Water Bay Road in Cha Liu Au north of Shun Lee and east of Ngau Chi Wan. It runs north to Custom Pass and Pak Kung Au and continues north to Tate's Pass (Tai Lo Au). It turns west and ends in Shatin Pass Road at the junction with Jat's Incline.
Geography
Fei Ngo Shan Road runs high among hills in New Kowloon like Kowloon Peak, Middle Hill (Cheung Shan), Tung Shan, Cham Tin Shan and Tate's Cairn or Tai Lo Shan. Part of the road has an excellent view of Victoria Harbour.
The hilly road (off Clear Water Bay road) is reminiscent of a once glorious, high-end residential area. On two sides of the road are high walls placed to protect the detached houses that are split into their own complex. Some of the complexes are new, but the ones that are old are undoubtedly unkempt and seem very old. Otherwise, the hilly road has stray dogs, wild pigs, and tick bugs taking residence among the houses, and therefore the location lives up to its name of being a countryside residence.
Leisure
The western section of Fei Ngo Shan Road is part of Stage 4 of the Wilson Trail.
At daytime, when winds are favorable, there are many activities of radio-controlled gliders, a sport that has become very popular since the early 2000s.
It is a popular place for drivers having their nights out. The place is quiet, making it a good spot for couples.
