TOUR INFO
Hong Kong may be commonly known as a concrete jungle, but as any real Hong Konger knows, the real star attraction is our gorgeous countryside. Hong Kong’s trails are wonderfully accessible. Whether it’s the popular Dragon’s Back hike or a more challenging night hike to Lion Rock, they’re all easily reachable from the city.
Here are a few of our favourite outdoor activities, we are sure you’ll like them as much as we do!
SAI KUNG DESERTED BEACH HIKE
While Repulse Bay, Stanley, and Shek O beaches get all the popularity. The best beaches by far are tucked away in Sai Kung Tai Long Wan. The sand is powdery, the water is clear and best of all it’s deserted so you can have the whole beach to yourself!
Itinerary:
– Meet at Hang Hau MTR and travel to trail (approx. 1 hour)
– High Island Reservoir East Dam
– MacLehose Trail, passing through Long Ke Wan, Sai Wan Shan, Sai Wan and Ham Tin Wan
– Ham Tin Wan, lunch at a local café
– MacLehose Trail, passing through Chek Kang and Pak Tam Au

This is an eight hour tour finishing at Hang Hau MTR station.
SUNSET LION ROCK AND WALLED CITY
To every local in Hong Kong, the Lion Rock represents the spirit of the city/region. Often associated with the perseverance and can-do attitude of Hong Kongers, Lion Rock holds great meaning for the locals. For us, this is the best hike with the city view.
Itinerary:

BIKING TO PLOVER COVE RESERVOIR
Starting at Tai Wai, this route takes you through Hong Kong’s most picturesque cycling route. The best part of the route is at the end – Plover Cove Reservoir, where you can bike on top of a stretch of a 2km long dam in one of the most remote areas of Hong Kong!
