牛押山 Ngau Ngak Shan
生境 Habitats
地點介紹 Site Description
牛押山是馬鞍山的副峰，高677米，山勢非常險要，故此少有人為扞擾，植被完整，植物種類非常豐富。牛押山和吊手岩一帶的山脊更是香港唯一一處有齊香港六種原生杜鵑的地方。
不論上山，或沿澗行走，路途都非常陡峭，部分路程更需沿繩攀爬，故不建議經驗淺的人士攀登。
Ngau Ngak Shan, with a height of 677 metres, is one of the two peaks of Ma On Shan. Due to its steep and dangerous terrain, the area receives very little human disturbances and the vegetation is intact and plant diversity is very high. In fact, the ridges of Ngau Ngak Shan and Tiu Shau Ngam next to it are the only places in Hong Kong where one can see all of Hong Kong's native Rhododendrons.
Whether climbing the mountain or the stream (which are very steep), part of the journey requires climbing with ropes attached to the rocks. Hence, the path is only for experienced hikers.
