Hong Kong has real good country park for hiking. Roads are clear and safe. One can hike at their own physical abilities. Views are beautiful on the way. They were well decided. If you like hiking, do it here as well.

I am pretty sure that most Hongkongers spend their weekends in a shopping mall with air-conditioning. Yup. I am one of them. With the excruciating heat during summer in Hong Kong, it would be crazy to ask your friends ‘hey! Let’s go hiking this weekend!” Though I have to agree, do you know that Hong Kong in fact has one of the best hiking trails in the world and we are just not really appreciating it correctly. Lots of my foreign friends always wondered why is that locals here simply do not go hiking… Well… that’s quite embarrassing as we might be taking the nature for granted. Regardless, I finally took up the courage and embraced with our great natural side of Hong Kong. As a matter of fact, Tai Lam Country Park is the second largest country park in the territory. I did not finish the entire trail(sorry I am just a spoiled city boy) but frankly speaking the scenery was just AMAZING. It is fairly difficult to find an idle and tranquil place in Hong Kong, so hiking to places like this is definitely perfect choice for all. Personally, I loved the Red leaves in Dai Tong during winter when it is less hot and the scene would make you feel like you are in one of those romantic Japanese TV shows where the guy and the girl meet.
