Also known as Ma Kong Shan or Hong Kong Island’s Stairway Workout, the Twin Peaks hike is a must-do for anyone seeking epic panoramic views of Stanley, Repulse Bay and the South China Sea. Nicknamed The Terrible Twins for its relentless stone staircases, this trail will have your glutes and thighs burning and your heart pumping while rewarding you with some of the most dramatic hillside panoramas on the Southside. Challenging yet unforgettable, it’s the perfect mix of outdoor adventure, fitness and breathtaking scenery — far better than any stairmaster in our opinion! Keep reading for all the details on how to get to Twin Peaks, what to bring and insider tips to make the most of your hike.

Read More: How To Hike To Devil’s Peak — Our Ultimate Guide

Why Is It Called Twins Peak?

Less ominous in name than Devil’s Peak, Twin Peaks still packs a serious punch and isn’t for the faint-hearted!

Historically, Twin Peaks was part of Hong Kong Island’s strategic ridges, with its high ground offering prime lookout points over Stanley Bay and the Southside coastline. This vantage made it invaluable for monitoring shipping and defending the island. The nearby ridges around Stanley and Tai Tam were also integrated into colonial defensive networks, and today hikers can still spot old trail markers and remnants of lookout posts that hint at the area’s historic significance.

These days, the peaks are defined by steep stone staircases with very little flat ground between them. The trails run back-to-back, which is how the hike earned its fearsome nickname: The Terrible Twins.

How To Get To Twin Peaks

Getting to the Twin Peaks hike is convenient, with the most popular starting point near Wong Nai Chung Reservoir. This route is straightforward, clearly signposted and sets you up perfectly for the full Violet Hill and Twin Peaks experience.

From Wong Nai Chung Gap Road to Violet Hill Trailhead

1. Take bus 6 or 66 from Queen’s Road East in Central. To access the bus, you can use an Octopus card or online payment (like Alipay or Apple Pay).
2. Exit at the Wong Nai Chung Gap Road; Hong Kong Tennis Centre stop, and you will see a marked path approximately three minutes away — this is your trailhead.
3. Start your hike!

Although this path is well-maintained and easy to follow, be prepared for a steep hike ahead!

Twin Peaks Hike: Step-by-Step

1. Starting Point: Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park

Your hike begins at Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park, just off Wong Nai Chung Gap Road. From the bus stop, it’s a short, gentle walk along Tai Tam Reservoir Road to reach the clearly marked trailhead for Violet Hill. This initial stretch is calm and shaded, easing you in before the real climbing begins — think of it as a warm-up before leg day officially starts!

2. Ascend Via Violet Hill Trail

Follow the Violet Hill trail as it winds steadily uphill through lush greenery and open ridgelines. This section features a mix of paved paths and stone steps, with plenty of scenic pauses along the way. As you climb, you’ll start to catch views of:

• Wong Nai Chung Reservoir and surrounding greenery
• The Southside coastline and distant city skyline
• The Tai Tam Reservoir nestled between rolling hills

This ascent is challenging but manageable, offering a good rhythm before the toughest part of the hike.

3. Crossing Tze Kong Bridge

After descending from Violet Hill, you’ll reach Tze Kong Bridge, a popular rest point and visual midpoint of the hike. Many hikers pause here to hydrate, regroup and mentally prepare for the most intense section of the trail.

4. Climbing The Twin Peaks (AKA The ‘Terrible Twins’)

From the bridge, the infamous Twin Peaks rise sharply ahead. This section is made up almost entirely of steep stone staircases, climbing two peaks back-to-back with very little flat ground in between. As tough as it is, the payoff is huge and will feel like a workout that will count for the whole week!

The highest point of the hike sits at around 386 metres above sea level, making it one of the most physically demanding hikes on Hong Kong Island.

4. Descent Toward Stanley

Once you’ve conquered the second peak, the trail begins its descent toward Stanley Gap Road. The stairs ease slightly here, and the views open up toward the sea and Stanley Village below. This final stretch feels like a well-earned victory lap, ending close to transport links — or a beachside meal if you decide to treat yourself after the climb.

Hiking Tips For Twin Peaks

• Essentials: Bring water, sunscreen and a hat.

Editor’s Note: Alternative therapies are not intended to replace conventional Western medicine or evidence-based medical treatment. Always consult your doctor or healthcare professional before trying any alternative therapy, especially to ensure it does not interfere with existing medical conditions, medications or prescriptions.

Reiki Energy Healing

Originating in Japan, Reiki (‘rei’ meaning ‘universal’, and ‘ki’ meaning ‘life energy’ in Japanese) is an alternative therapy based on energy healing. Reiki practitioners transfer energy through their palms to facilitate healing. While Reiki often involves working with the seven chakras, or energy points, on the patient’s body, it’s important to note that Reiki isn’t limited to the chakra system alone. It aims to unblock and balance one’s energy, promoting overall wellbeing. Some Reiki practices even incorporate the use of crystals to further enhance the healing process and create a harmonious environment.

What it can help: This alternative therapy is commonly used to support those experiencing chronic pain, anxiety and depression, and is often explored as a complementary approach alongside conventional treatment. Many also turn to it as a preventative wellness practice, helping to maintain overall balance and long-term health.

Looking to clear energetic blocks and reset on a deeper level?

Sound Baths

Immerse yourself in a calming bath of sound created by deeply resonant, hypnotic instruments. Sound baths are an ancient form of meditative practice, believed to date back thousands of years, and are designed to quiet the mind and regulate the nervous system. The theory is that the vibrations produced help slow brainwave activity, allowing your thoughts to settle, your focus to sharpen and your body to become more in tune with itself.

During a session, you’ll typically lie down with your eyes closed while a practitioner gently plays instruments such as gongs, Tibetan bowls or crystal alchemy singing bowls. The sounds may begin from the front of the room before moving closer — sometimes even above different areas of the body — so the vibrations can be felt as well as heard. The result is a deeply restorative experience that many describe as grounding, meditative and profoundly relaxing.

What it can help: Reduce stress, remove emotional blockages and even stimulate an altered state of consciousness.

Hypnotherapy

Using carefully chosen language, often paired with calming music or sound, hypnotherapy guides you into a deeply relaxed yet focused state of consciousness. In this heightened state, a trained therapist can gently introduce positive suggestions to help reframe unhelpful or limiting thought patterns, supporting the brain’s capacity to improve both medical and psychological outcomes.

What it can help with: Hypnotherapy is commonly used to address stress and anxiety, behavioural patterns, phobias, smoking, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and even performance anxiety or stage fright.

Mindfulness & Meditation

Like hypnotherapy, meditation has been shown to reshape neural pathways in the brain, helping cultivate more positive, focused and balanced mental states. Practised for thousands of years, this ancient modality works by gently quieting the mind, creating space for greater clarity, awareness and emotional regulation.

Mindfulness meditation, in particular, isn’t about emptying your thoughts, but about paying closer attention to the present moment. Whether it’s focusing on your breath, brushing your teeth or truly savouring a cup of tea, the practice encourages you to slow down, tune in and fully experience what’s happening right now.

What it can help with: Meditation is widely used to reduce stress and anxiety, boost creativity, improve focus and performance, deepen self-awareness and lengthen attention spans. Research also suggests it can support better sleep, lower blood pressure, enhance memory and contribute to overall wellbeing.

Yoga

Although often considered a sport, the mental benefits of yoga often make it a strong choice as an alternative therapy, as it combines physical movement, breathwork and mindfulness to support overall physical and mental health and wellbeing. Not only is it able to improve flexibility and strength, but yoga also encourages a mind-body connection, making it a therapeutic tool for de-stressing and supporting recovery from certain health conditions.

Between Hong Kong grind culture and influencers peddling miracle supplements, pursuing wellness can feel aimless. But don’t be discouraged by the scams and the noise — simple, actionable stress-relief exists, and it’s worth prioritising.

Ahead of their talks at TEDxTinHau Women ‘Reframe’ 2025, two leading voices in women’s health are sharing their essential advice. Gigi Ngan, a registered Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner, focuses on supporting women through all life stages by integrating ancient wisdom with modern science. Alongside her is Emily Kusunoki, a trauma therapist at the Hong Kong Dignity Institute, specialises in empowering women to heal from anxiety, depression and trauma.

Together, these experts represent an integrated approach to well-being. Keep reading to discover their essential tips on how to reclaim you calm in ways that last.

Read More: Alternative Therapy In Hong Kong — Reiki, Energy Healing & More

In your practice, what are the most common barriers you see that prevent women in Hong Kong from finding a sense of calm?

Gigi Ngnan (GN): Long work hours, late messages and the pressure of stacked roles — professional, partner, caregiver — create a constant ‘on’ switch. This is compounded by lifestyle factors like irregular meals and sleep, along with care can being fragmented between different providers. Many believe they must choose between Eastern or Western medicine instead of seeking integrated help.

Emily Kusunoki (EK): I see disconnection as the primary barrier. Despite vastly different backgrounds, my career-driven clients who lacked contentment and the refugees and survivors of trafficking I work with now share a common goal: to reconnect with their own needs, wants and desires. Trauma and societal pressure disconnect us from our ability to hear ourselves. When we rely on external sources to tell us how to live, we aren’t able to connect to our own inner voice.

Read More: Therapists & Psychologists In Hong Kong For Counselling

The mind and body are deeply connected. How does chronic stress or emotional turmoil typically manifest in a person’s physical health and overall well-being?

GN: It very often appears through clear physical signals: disrupted sleep, digestive swings, headaches, skin flares and noticeable changes in the menstrual cycle — its timing, flow or cramps. From a TCM lens, we see patterns like constrained energy flow or depleted reserves; from a Western lens, it’s nervous-system overdrive and hormonal shifts. The crucial point is that the body signals distress long before it fully breaks down.

EK: Therapeutic models like EMDR show how unprocessed trauma can leave us feeling anxious or tense. IFS explains how protective parts of us can cause muscle tightness or chronic fatigue. Polyvagal theory helps us understand how stress disrupts the nervous system, keeping us in ‘fight or flight’ or a shutdown state, manifesting as a racing heart, stomach troubles or numbness. It’s a gift that our body remembers even when our mind forgets — it reminds us that healing involves finding ways to feel safe internally.

Read More: A Gweilo’s Guide To Chinese Herbal Teas In Hong Kong

“Listening to the body” is a popular phrase. What does that mean in a practical sense? How can we start to honour our body’s signals while managing our responsibilities?

GN: Run a simple 60-second daily check-in. Ask yourself: How did I sleep? Where do I feel tension? What’s my energy level? If relevant, where am I in my cycle? Jot brief notes in your phone. Once a week, scan for patterns and commit to one small, sustainable adjustment — whether it’s turning off lights 30 minutes earlier, ensuring a proper lunch break or taking a short walk after dinner.

EK: Practically, it means pursuing connection. This can start by telling just one trusted person — a friend, a sibling, even a stranger at the park — what you’re truly experiencing or struggling with. When we give words to an invisible battle, it holds less shame over our lives and lightens the weight of isolation. This act of expression is a powerful first step in honouring what your body and mind are telling you.

Read More: Medical Misogyny — What Is It & How To Tackle It

For women who may be hesitant to seek professional help, what is a gentle, first step they can take on their own to begin understanding and supporting their well-being?

GN: I suggest a two-week personal experiment. Focus on regular mealtimes, a consistent bedtime, just 10 minutes of daylight movement and a two-minute slow-breathing practice. If you feel even slightly better, use that positive momentum to book a baseline medical check and a TCM consultation — use both perspectives to map out where you are and create a informed plan forward.

EK: My favourite go-to is Progressive Muscle Relaxation because it’s simple and effective. You can start from your head or your toes, slowly tensing each muscle for a few seconds and then releasing. Incorporate deep breathing, inhaling as you tense and exhaling as you release. Do this for as many muscle groups as you can; I guarantee you will feel a difference in your body by the end.

Read More: Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinics In Hong Kong

When feeling overwhelmed or anxious in the middle of a stressful day, what is one immediate, in-the-moment technique you recommend to help ground herself and find her centre?

GN: Try a one-minute acupressure reset. First, press the Neiguan point (PC6) on the inside of your forearm, about three finger-widths above the wrist, while you take five slow, deep breaths. Then, gently circle the Yintang point between your eyebrows for 20 seconds. Finish with a few mindful sips of warm water to settle your energy.

EK: Honestly, never underestimate deep breathing. You can practice a simple technique like box breathing anywhere: inhale for four seconds, hold for four, exhale slowly for four and hold again for four. Repeat this cycle just three times to instantly calm and centre yourself. Don’t overlook the small, regulating gifts your body already equips you with.

Read More: Essential Health Check-Ups Every Woman Should Schedule 

Beyond crisis moments, what is one non-negotiable daily ritual you believe every woman should incorporate to support her nervous system and build long-term resilience?

GN: Start the day warm. This means having a warm drink — plain water, ginger or lemon tea — and a warm breakfast if possible. In TCM, warming the body’s ‘centre’ is foundational; it supports healthy digestion, stabilises mood and sustains energy for the rest of the day.

EK: Pay greater attention to your senses. This means mindfully eating one bite of food, noticing how your chair feels under you or gently patting your arms. Reconnecting with touch, smell, taste, sound and sight builds your introspection — your awareness of internal sensations — which is vital for understanding your needs and feeling grounded. Honour these signals by giving them attention.

Self-criticism is a major obstacle to calm. What is a powerful way to challenge a negative inner voice and cultivate a more compassionate inner dialogue?

GN: When that inner voice gets loud, ground your energy physically. Press the Taiyang point at your temples, then massage the Shenmen (HT7) point on the wrist crease near the little finger. As you do this, consciously breathe out a little longer than you breathe in, letting your shoulders drop with each exhale. This short reset helps your body unwind, which in turn allows your harsh thoughts to soften naturally.

EK: Engage with the critic, don’t silence it. Understand that this part of you, however harsh, is trying to protect you. It might be shielding a younger self from shame or failure. Have a conversation with it. Thank it for its intention, but update it on who you are now. Ask it what it’s truly afraid of. This curious dialogue transforms the critic into a misguided protector, creating space for a more compassionate voice to emerge.

What is one often-overlooked dietary or lifestyle factor that can significantly impact anxiety and stress levels?

GN: The constant consumption of cold, raw foods and iced drinks is often overlooked. This can tire the digestive system and, from a TCM perspective, make the mind feel scattered and jumpy. Choosing regular, warm meals like soups, congee and cooked vegetables, and avoiding coffee on an empty stomach, fosters steadier digestion, which directly supports a steadier mood.

EK: The impact of exercise. The amount of anxiety that can be naturally relieved through movement is a form of healing that actively involves the body. Physical exertion triggers neurochemical changes that reduce anxiety. An activity like lifting weights also provides a direct, physical reminder to your brain that your body is strong and capable, directly countering feelings of powerlessness that often accompany stress.

What is the most important piece of wisdom or encouragement you would offer to a woman in Hong Kong who feels that internal calm is an impossible goal?

GN: Calm isn’t a fixed personality trait; it’s a dynamic practice of rebalancing. If trying to achieve it alone isn’t working, that is not a failure — it’s a sign to ask for help. Get measured with your doctor, restore with a licensed TCM practitioner and let both systems support you. You do not have to choose one path; their synergy is your strength.

EK: Don’t force it. Pressure is the enemy of calm, and everyone’s version of ‘internal calm’ is unique. If something doesn’t feel right for you — be it yoga or a specific diet — don’t force yourself to conform. A state of internal calm is not about finding the perfect, one-size-fits-all formula for stress relief; it’s about permitting yourself to hear your own needs without overwhelming judgment. Get to know what you feel like in a state of safety, and honour the things, big or small, that contribute to it.

Why Hike The Tai Lam Chung Reservoir?

History lesson incoming: The Tai Lam Chung Reservoir opened in 1957, securing the distinction of the first reservoir built in Hong Kong after WWII. But here’s the cool part — those dozens of tiny islands visible from the top of the hike? They’re actually the tops of former hills that were never submerged when the valley was flooded!

The unique landscape earned it the nickname ‘Thousand Island Lake,’ a hat-tip to the original in Zhejiang, China. Tucked within the sprawling Tai Lam Country Park (Hong Kong’s second-biggest!), this hike serves up incredible views and a chance to spot local wildlife. Here, you can snag a glimpse of anything from colourful birds to leopard cats — and if you’re really lucky, the elusive Chinese pangolin (the real-life Pokemon Sandshrew)!

How To Get To The Thousand Island Lake: Step-By-Step Routes To Tai Lam Chung Reservoir

Route 1: Direct & Easy From So Kwun Wat

Step 1: Start At So Kwun Wat Tsuen Road Village

Begin at the Tin Hau Temple in So Kwun Wat Tsuen (your minibus 43/43S drop-off point). Follow So Kwun Wat Tsuen Road past village homes — you may even spot some friendly goats!

Step 2: Join The MacLehose Trail Section 10

After a 15-20 minute walk, you’ll reach a car park with a boom barrier. Cross it, and congratulations, you’re now officially on MacLehose Trail Section 10! Begin your ascent on the paved road.

Step 3: Find The Reservoir Islands Viewpoint

The paved path winds uphill for about 2km, offering peeks of the reservoir. It ends at a basic viewing area with a portable toilet. Don’t stop here! Look for the colourful, illustrated signpost pointing to the ‘Reservoir Islands Viewpoint.’ This is your turn.

Step 4: The Final Climb

Take the rugged dirt trail and stone steps up to your right. In about 10 minutes, you’ll arrive at the main viewing platform with the breathtaking, uninterrupted view of Thousand Island Lake.

Take the bus to the Tai Tong Shan Road stop on the K66 route. From here, follow the yellow and green railing through Yeung Ka Tsuen, before reaching a sign pointing you up towards the Wong Nai Tun Reservoir — where your hike begins!

Step 2: Discover Wong Nai Tun Reservoir

Before you get to the main event, you’ll be rewarded with the stunning, deep-turquoise waters of Wong Nai Tun Reservoir. It’s a fantastic photo stop in its own right, especially when the sun hits it.

Step 3: Approach The Reservoir Islands Viewpoint

Continue on the trail as it winds through the forest from Wong Nai Tun Reservoir. Eventually, you’ll see the famous colourful signpost for the ‘Reservoir Islands Viewpoint’, where you’ll converge with the So Kwun Wat route. Take the short, final climb up to the platform for your reward.

Step 4: Choose Your Finish Line

Post-Hike Food & Transportation Options
