A video circulating online showing hikers scaling a section of a mountain connected to Hong Kong’s Ocean Park has prompted safety concerns.
The video from December 23, which appears to have been taken from a cable car at the park, shows three hikers climbing along a giant seahorse carved into the side of Brick Hill.
The identities of the hikers and how they accessed the slope were not immediately clear.

The side of the mountain appeared rugged and steep with no clear path. At least one of the hikers can be seen descending on all fours to avoid slipping.
According to a post on the park’s Facebook page, the seahorse is located along the side of Brick Hill and comprises about 3,700 trees.

It remains uncertain whether the hikers had violated any rules or laws.
