Hiking, running, swimming every bit of Hong Kong

Author hkoutdooradventures

Iurgi /juːɡɪ/, Spanish (Basque) living in Hong Kong since 2004. My very first day here we hiked up to Lion Rock and since then I have been exploring all around Hong Kong, trail running, open water swimming, etc. Once I find really special places I like to show them to others. I love seeing the “I can’t believe this is HK” faces

Starling inlet

Nice colored rocks, highlighting the contrast of the very civilized Mainland in one side of the sea and old and partly abandoned Hong Kong on the other.

Hoi Ha East

Clear water, easy scrambling, long coastal walk areas, quite some wading, several beaches. Better than expected route suitable for beginners.

Chi Ma Wan dry

Chi Ma Wan has tons of rocky areas to explore, not only coasteering, but also in dry mode. Suitable for beginners & seasoned climbers.

Lamma South dry

I was trying to find potential early exits for the long coasteering down there & spent several weekends entertained in the bush & rocks.

Wu Kai Sha

A semi dry coastal route not recommended but for those trying to visit all the coast, looking for a super easy day out or just live in the area.

North Lamma

Better than expected traversing and scrambling spots mixed with more boring areas. The last chunk of the coast that I had pending in Lamma.

Kau Sai Chau

Long day stream hiking and coasteering on a cute island with a couple of well-known beaches, good scrambling and extra fun.

Tai O Headland

Tiny coasteering with a very peculiar rock formation and colorful rocks around. Tons of trash and murky water on the bad side.

Clothing

In the coasteering post and others, I have briefly mentioned the clothes I wear on. Here I will elaborate further what I wear in streams & dry hikes.
