Description

Leave behind the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong city and spend the day immersed in rolling countryside. Depart the city using its efficient public transport system and travel into the rural surrounding landscapes. The final leg of the journey will be via taxi before you begin a 12.5 km hike, which follows mostly paved paths and is of a moderate level. The hike begins at the High Island Reservoir, which boasts sprawling scenic views and offers just a taste of what is to come on the rest of the trail. Continue the path up towards the coastline and along the bay area where you can admire views of the white sandy beaches below and the vast South China Sea. Once you’ve worked up a bit of an appetite, head to a small restaurant on the beachfront and enjoy a simple but tasty lunch at your own expense. After lunch, follow the network of paved paths which pass by a number of fascinating Old Hakka villages. Since the 1970s, the Sai Kung uplands and coastline have been sparsely populated since villagers left their ancestral lands in favor of city lives. Wander through the deserted villages and see the homes, lands, and locations these villagers left behind. Then head to the Feng Shui Woods, which would have been farmed by the Hakka farmers in former years. Today the woods provides a fantastic breeding environment for native species. With your guide, learn about these species as well as the looking for examples of natural reforestation throughout the woodland.
