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

Dragon’s Jaw

Really nice waterfalls and spectacular cliff views in Wong Lung Han area. Steadily steep but with some trickier sections & less people than the latter.

Chung Hom Kok

Chung Hom Kok peninsula offers an easy coasteering route, a trickier dry scrambling version and tons of peculiar rocks around.

Crouching Dragon

Have you check Wong Lung Han and want to continue exploring all the area and challenge yourself with a higher cliff climb? Then continue reading.

Big Wave streams

Big Wave Bay beach, apart of surfing and couple of coasteering routes (from Chai Wan or to Shek O), offers several streams around. Relatively short jungle-like.

SungKong & Waglan

Sung Kong has nice coasteering with less distinctive features. Waglan is small but has interesting rocks, an arch, and the old constructions around the lighthouse.

Peak streams 2

I wrote some time ago about the most known streams heading to the Peak area, here several more in the vicinity, a bit less known.

Loi Po Sai stream

I was trying to find a fun way to go to the Penis rock, but this Loi Po Sai stream (女婆西坑) is not especially interesting. Only recommended for those trying to conquer all streams in HK.

Wild life encounters

The more you hike in the less “civilized” paths the more chances you have to see the real natural Hong Kong, including snakes, wild boars, etc.

Kumano Kodo

The Kumano Kodo are the ancient pilgrimage routes in the Kii peninsula (Wakayama Prefecture). El Camino de Santiago Japanese style.
