Tai Mo Shan Road (Chinese: 大帽山道) is a narrow road originating from Route Twisk, that leads to (but does not terminate at) the weather station at the top of Tai Mo Shan. Paved the whole way, the upper-most ~3km is blocked by a manned barrier gate, and is hence inaccessible to cars. A carpark exists at this point. Bicycles and pedestrians may continue to the top of the mountain, an enclosed restricted area in which lies Hong Kong's highest point (at 957m), a weather Doppler radar, and communications equipment.

Cows and oxen may be encountered along the entire length of the road. The road also makes for some spectacular panoramic scenery of Hong Kong, and several pull-off points exist along the road, perfect for a photo opportunity.

Stage 8 of the MacLehose Trail starts at the road's intersection with Route Twisk, and runs along the entire section of Tai Mo Shan Road, and then continues towards Lead Mine Pass.
