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

Double Dragon

Double Dragon stream (雙龍石澗) is another interesting way up to Sunset Peak. First section with several pools to dip into. Second section with the best waterfalls.

Tung Lung stream

The Sunset Dragon stream (東龍石澗) is the little brother of Wong Lung Hang. Usually a shorter route (you could continue up till the very Sunset Peak) but full of all kind of falls.

Fa Tam 花潭 stream

Fa Tam (花潭石澗 flower pond) is a cute easy-ish stream. Good to test newbies; with incremental difficulty, several early exits, and nice waterfalls and pools midway.

Tungsten mines

From 1935 to 1967 tungsten was mined under Needle Hill. Remains of the buildings, tunnels, and others are still there within the growing vegetation, ready to be explored.

Tsing Lung stream

Tsing Lung (Green Dragon) Stream (青龍石澗) is a very interesting way up to Sunset peak. Several high waterfalls, pools to dip into, high cliffs relatively easy to scramble on.

Ling Bai stream

Different streams in the South West of Lantau island. Nothing especially impressive, but good for a day going up and down these watercourses and the hills around.

High Junk Peak

Quite some people associate Clear Water Bay with relaxed, or party mode, junk boat days. The area offers way more including an iconic peak and a special looking island.

Yin Ngam stream

Relatively wide and easy stream good for beginners with some stamina, as it can get a bit long. Only small waterfalls but with nice pools where to take a rest.

South Heaven’s Gate classic

I have written about this iconic landmark several times. Here a summary of all the options, including the classic route.
