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

Jin Island

The last sea arch that I had pending to write about. Super wellknown these days with people taking boats and kayaks there. Good coasteering too!

Heung Fan Liu

The first stream under Needle Hill that I’d recommend. Cute, a couple of big waterfalls, relatively easy and short. Perfect for a few hours fun or to combine with more.

Needle Hill off path

Needle Hill is an iconic spot for hikers & trail runners, who like to discuss which way up (West, East) is better. Here several less conventional routes.

Mong Hau

Small stream, easy and cute. It would be a really nice ending for a short visit to the badlands if it were not for the troublesome exit if you are following the signs around.

Tsing Tip

An alternative way up to Castle Peak & the Badlands. From fun scrambling to dangerous walls. Choose wisely according to your experience.

Sunshine Island

Small remote island with decent coasteering and a very interesting last remaining villager. Kayaking or boat hiring required to go there.

Chek Hang & Pak Hang

Small streams far in East Sai Kung Country Park. Clear Water, a few nice waterfalls, and a fun tiny gorge-like structure for those ready to go far for this.

Kau Yi Chau

Small islands in between Lantau & HK Island. A couple of nice beaches, OK short scrambling, combined with kayaking for a fun half day out.

Tai Lam slabs & caves

Various difficulty slabs to scramble on, mini caves in the middle of the jungle, impressive views, and quite some peculiar rocks in one go.
