Several airlines in Hong Kong have direct flights to this very interesting volcanic island in the South of Korea. Perfect for short outdoorsy holidays.
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.
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 (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 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 (東馬肚坑 – East Horse Belly stream) South tributary is a spectacular difficult jungle stream connecting with the Hunch Backs.
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.
An excellent route including tons of caves, dramatic cliffs, jumping spots, waterfalls. Only suitable for really confident swimmers/coasteers.
Another short coasteering route, around Long Ke in Sai Kung. You could combine it with the previous one for a long day with nice views all around.
