While you can hike anytime in Hong Kong, the best time to do so is between October to March before the weather gets too hot. It is also possible until May or June, but one should avoid hiking between July to October as it is the typhoon season.
Getting around Hong Kong (for hikes)
Most of the hikes are accessible by public transport, so having an Octopus Card is essential. Make sure you top it up before you leave and bring cash in case you need to call a taxi. I recommend having a balance of 50 HKD on Octopus Card and bring 200-300 HKD cash
Essentials for hiking in Hong Kong
As with hiking anywhere in the world, it’s important to make sure you have enough water, wear the right footwear, and know where you are going. You can see my full gear list here.
Pro tip: you’ll sweat more than you expect hiking in Hong Kong so bring a small towel!

4 Consecutive Pools and Falls
A great summer hike destination, the Four Consecutive Pools and Falls is a popular for the hikers and cliff jumpers – although I won’t recommend the later!

Close to the China-Hong Kong border on the NE New Territories, Robin’s Nest is closed to an abandoned lead mine and just under 500m high.
You can see the surrounding countryside and Shenzhen clearly – as well as the border.

One of the three sharp peaks of Sai Kung, High Junk Peak is the easiest hike of the three and offers a good view of Sai Kung.

There are many trails around Ma On Shan and this is but one of the viewpoints! Tiu Shau Ngam means ‘hanging knuckles’, referring to the hills before the Ma On Shan itself.
Wo Yang Shan, Tsuen Wan
Hike under the highest mountain in Hong Kong, Wo Yang Shan might be a 6 hour hike, but it’s relatively quiet with many rock outcrops and serene nature!

Kai Kung Leng, Yuen Long
Also in Yuen Long, all the way in NW New Territories, Kai Kung Leng and Kai Kung Shan can be seen from the West Rail Line as a formidable mountain.
