Hong Kong is unquestionably one of the most beautiful cities, but there's much more to it than meets the eye. Hong Kong is famed for its skyline, yet mountains, waterfalls, trails, and beaches cover over half of the city, making them great places to explore and unwind.
Island hopping
Peng Chau Island: Peng Chau, one of Hong Kong's most charming outer islands and well off the usual tourist trail, is about a half-hour drive from Central. Despite its small size, the island is dotted with Instagram and photography spots — from remains of an old factory, beaches, and temples, to street arts that add vibrancy to this tranquil community.
You'll feel as if you can breathe easier the instant you arrive. This island has an unmistakable aura that emanates serenity.
Conquering hiking trails
Shing Mun Reservoir: Nestled between Tai Mo Shan and Kam Shan Country Parks, this popular trekking location is a haven for various animals, including butterflies, monkeys, cattle, and even wild boars. Walk along the reservoir roads and paths to immerse yourself in this lovely location surrounded by nature, stopping at the paperbark trees for some Instagram-worthy images.
Adrenaline activities for thrill seekers
Pumping sports: You might want to check out coasteering, which involves climbing, cliff jumping, and swimming around rocky coastal slopes, providing a unique way of experiencing Hong Kong's magnificent shoreline. One of the most popular spots for this water activity is the Sai Kung Geopark coasteering trail which offers majestic rolling hills, hexagonal rock columns, gigantic coastal cliffs, and various exciting jumping points.
