Tai Tan country trail is a beautiful and easy country trail at the very far end of Sai Kung.  It offers some nice views to archipelago and mountains of Sai Kung. But if you plan on doing it on a sunny and hot day, you should be aware that the trail is mostly sunny making... Continue Reading →

Morning trail is convenient both day and night as it is always lit with street lights. While going up morning trail is a great activity on its own, it gets even better when you reach the top and go around the Peak: the night time views to Hong Kong are amazing and if you don't...

If you are interested in visiting the old and authentic fishing village of Tai O, one option is to hike there from Tung Chung.
