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

Koh Lipe

White sand beaches, crystalline water, good snorkeling and a fun coasteering route in the Southernmost islands in Thailand.

Ling Ngau stream

Have you checked the other streams in the Badlands? Then go and try the third (and fourth) one. Not as fun but an interesting route anyhow.

Cheung Chau SW

Cheung Chau offers a picturesque coastline perfect for coasteering. In addition South West section is relatively easy.

Abandoned villages

There are a lot of abandoned buildings all around Hong Kong hills. Testament of the old ages and nature’s power, conquering back its territory.

Utah Canyons

Grand Canyon might be the best-known canyon in the USA but that doesn’t mean it is the only one, nor the most spectacular.

Jeju island

Several airlines in Hong Kong have direct flights to this very interesting volcanic island in the South of Korea. Perfect for short outdoorsy holidays.

Backpacking/camping

I have never been a big fan of camping. In Hong Kong distances are short enough that day hikes/runs are a better option for me. But sometimes it’s fun.

Banana stream

Have you hiked the main Ng Tung Chai waterfalls? If you want to continue exploring the area with a more difficult route this is for you.

Wong Chung stream

Wong Chung stream (黃涌石澗) is a cute short stream. The mossy rocks can be a little bit slippery, perfect for a completely wet route after rainy days.
