Castle Peak (青山 Tsing Shan or Pui To Shan 杯渡山) is a 583-metre (1,913-feet) high peak in western New Territories, Hong Kong. It is also the highest granitic hill in Hong Kong.
Castle Peak is a mountain in Tuen Mun that stretches northward and connects with Yuen Tau Shan (also known as “Ling To Shan”).
Legend has it that an accomplished Buddhist monk, Master Pui To, lived in seclusion in Castle Peak during the Lau Song Dynasty (420 - 479) of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, earning Castle Peak another name of Pui To Mountain.
Castle Peak, about 583 m high and with precipitous slops, together with Sharp Peak and High Junk Peak in Sai Kung are called the “3 Sharp Summits in Hong Kong”.
The name “Castle Peak” is derived from the mountain’s castle-like summit. At the summit, you will be rewarded with an almost 360° sweeping view of Tuen Mun and Pak Nai of Yuen Long, and even the Hong Kong International Airport and Deep Bay on sunny days.
