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

Ma Wan

Continuing the exploration of all Hong Kong coastline, this little island with so so coasteering, peculiar spots and a bit of (sad) history.

Mui Wo South

Cute, short, and easy route with additional scrambling opportunities. Several crowdless beaches en route even with the civilized path close by.

Tsuen Wan coast

Do you want to continue exploring ALL the coastline? Or otherwise, are you a beginner who needs a really easy route? This is for you.

Tai Tam coasteering

The East shoreline of Tai Tam Bay offers an easy route full of small beaches and old structures. Good for beginners or “want to see it all”s.

Tung Ping Chau

Furthermost HK island with public transportation. Beautiful rocks, beach, and clear water. Easy hiking, coasteering and snorkeling there.

Ancient trails

Trails that used to connect old villages, now abandoned, or even main areas in today’s Hong Kong crisscross our hills. Some are on the verge to disappear, overtaken by vegetation. Greatly appreciated if you hike on them 🙂

West HK island

Peculiar coasteering route with interesting spots but too much concrete and small rock areas also. For hardcore “want-to-do-all” or beginners.

Stanley Headland

Beautiful route with history, distinct rock formations, challenging spots and more. The Prison and the PLA complex make it tricky though.

Bags & hydration

What kind of backpack should I buy? Should I go for something fully waterproof? Is an over shoulder bag OK?
