Hello, the summit of TMS is often surrendered by a thick layer of clouds, and visibility can be very low. This also means that you will have high humidity, and drizzle could join the party. In December, wind blows from the North, and it's likely to be fresh to cold (night time). For sure you need to have an extra layer for insulation in your race pack. A woolie would come handy in case of wind / cold. Enjoy the race!

Servicing the entrance of Tai Mo Shan Country Park, is Route Twisk's route 51, operating between Tsuen Wan Nina Tower I and Kam Sheung Road MTR Station. The bus also stops at Tsuen Wan MTR Station (HK$7.80). If you go up the hill with the bus no. 51 from the Tsuen Wan station, then you have to get off the bus at the Tai Mo Shan Road (in elevation 430 m) and walk up along the Tai Mo Shan Road. With private car you can go up to the parking place being on 680 m elevation ASL. Taxis may not take you to this small parking lot as the road is narrow and frequently does not allow for two way traffic. From the parking lot at 680 m, the road is closed except for military vehicles and you take 50-60 minutes to walk up to the top.....

there are a number of hikes up Tai MO Shan or around the slopes of Tai Mo Shan, depending on where you start (e.g. whether out of Shing Mun Country Park, from the Minibus stop at Shing Mun Reservoir or out of Tai Mon Shan Country Park). Hikes usually take between 3 hours and a full day.
