Access

High Junk Peak Country Trail runs through the foot of High Junk Peak, west of the Summit. The fastest way of reaching the summit of High Junk Peak involves starting on a gentle hike at Sheung Sze Wan up to High Junk Peak Country Trail Marker C3106, and then making a sharp rightward U-turn that would lead you to the summit. The upper path to the summit is rather rugged and not maintained by the government, so proper hiking footwear is advisable. Another way of reaching the summit is through a rough ridge walk from Miu Tsai Tun in the north. This is the longer and less popular option, but it does provide great vantage points for photographers seeking to take pictures of High Junk Peak from Miu Tsai Tun.
