Po Keng Teng (Chinese: 寶鏡頂) is a mountain inside Clear Water Bay Country Park, Sai Kung, New Territories, Hong Kong, with a height of 127 metres (417 ft).

Geography

Po Keng Teng is in the Clear Water Bay Peninsula region. To the west is a golf club.

There are no public roads that lead to the mountain because a private golf club separates it from the nearest public road. The trails to the summit are rather rocky, and not maintained by the government, so proper hiking footwear is advisable. The cliff on its east side is very steep.
