Pyramid Hill is a prominent peak situated between Ma On Shan and Sai Kung, rising above the Ngong Ping Plateau. Its pyramid-like silhouette resembles a large bronze bell, which inspired its name. Many hikers heading to the Ngong Ping Plateau also choose to take on the challenge of summiting Pyramid Hill to enjoy the magnificent surrounding mountain and coastal views.
