Bring a water bottle and your appetite for these hiking trails — there’s a bite at the end of the tunnel.
Outside of the 16 hours a day we spend at work, Hong Kongers like to unwind with one of our three traditional pastimes: wakesurfing behind a rich friend’s boat; waiting in long, inexplicable lines; and hiking, which is just walking around outside. According to a local Cantonese legend, those who do it enough may find themselves blessed by the appearance of actor Chow Yun-fat, or “Fat Gor”, who will reward their determination with an enthusiastic selfie for the ‘Gram.
But it’s not all just meeting movie stars and racking up Fitbit trophies against our frenemies. Hong Kong’s many unique and challenging hikes bring people closer to nature, give them some of the most stunning views in the city, and remind them why they live there. It’s no surprise that Hongkongers love a good hike. And what if we told you that some of those hikes lead the way to truly sensational meals, as well? Happy trails, indeed. You deserve a reward after a long strenuous (or chill) hike, right? And, that is exactly why we have curated a list of hiking trails in Hong Kong that also cater to foodies.
