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

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.

Weather

Weather might be one of the most important factors you should take into consideration when planning your outings. Do not underestimate how much it can affect your activities.

Tung Ma To

Tung Ma To (東馬肚坑 – East Horse Belly stream) South tributary is a spectacular difficult jungle stream connecting with the Hunch Backs.

D’Aguilar peninsula

Once upon a time Dragon’s Back was a nice hike option around Shek O. Overcrowded now. Other options in the same area here: nice view hill & tiny streams.

Tung Lung Chau

An excellent route including tons of caves, dramatic cliffs, jumping spots, waterfalls. Only suitable for really confident swimmers/coasteers.
