Where exactly is this cross in Hong Kong?

In addition to Mark Mayo’s answer, the cross is located in the mountainside on Needle Hill. It takes 15-20 mins to walk from the Sha Tin Railway Station via the path through Pai Tau Tsuen. There is no direct public transport(note1) there and there are not many signs.

The camp is not open to public but you can join their events.

PS1: The characters 成了 on the cross comes from John 19:30

耶穌嘗〔 原文作受〕了那醋、就說、成了．便低下頭、將靈魂交付神了。(CUV)

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Which means Jesus are put to death, which enable the reconciliation between God and his creation.

PS2: Not many people go there even for the locals. I have lived in Sha Tin for more than 20 years but have visited there once only.

PS3:If you have extra time, you can visit the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery nearby. It is a good place for photography and it is open to public.

Note1: There is a minibus 481B to the nearby resident building Peak One Podium from Tsuen Wan via Tai Wai but there is no signs neither.

Tao Fong Shan would appear to be what you’re after.

It’s a 500m hill, in Sha Tin, where the Tao Fong Shan Christian Centre is located.

From the wiki:

“A 12-metre-high cross, facing Sha Tin, is the hallmark of the Centre.
The cross is a popular among visitors and is a place for outside
gatherings and meetings.”

It includes a photo that seems to pretty much exactly match where yours is taken from.
