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

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.

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.
