To reach the pagoda from KIN PUN base camp (http://goo.gl/maps/W2ppk), a steep 14.5 km road leads to the terminal near the summit, from where you will continue on foot for 10 to 15 minutes to the Golden Rock Pagoda. The journey from the base camp to the summit is made in open trucks, which are very crowded.
