Gorgeous hike

The Maclehose Trail 2 in Hong Kong is a stunning hiking trail that offers a challenging and rewarding experience for outdoor enthusiasts. As someone who has hiked many trails around the world, I can confidently say that this trail is one of the most impressive I have ever come across. The trail begins at the Pak Tam Chung Visitor Centre and winds through the Sai Kung East Country Park, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and coastline. The trail is well-marked and maintained, making it easy to follow even for novice hikers. However, it is worth noting that the trail is quite steep in places, so some level of physical fitness is required. One of the highlights of the Maclehose Trail 2 is the stunning scenery along the way. Hikers will pass through lush forests, rocky ridges, and panoramic viewpoints that offer breathtaking vistas of the coastline and surrounding islands. The trail also includes several streams and waterfalls, which provide a refreshing break from the challenging terrain. In terms of logistics, there are several campsites along the trail that are available for overnight stays. These campsites are well-equipped with facilities such as toilets, running water, and cooking areas, making it a great option for those who want to extend their hiking experience. Overall, I highly recommend the Maclehose Trail 2 to anyone looking for a challenging and rewarding hiking experience in Hong Kong. The stunning scenery, well-maintained trail, and convenient camping facilities make it a must-do for any outdoor enthusiast visiting the region #travel #tripblazers #china #hongkong #hiking

From Tuen Mun’s So Kwun Wat Tsuen, taking the Maclehose trails sec 10, follow the signs to Thousand Lake / Reservoir Islands Viewpoint. We drove to So Kwun Wat Tsuen, where parking spaces are offered by the villagers for a price ($70 to $100). From here, it’s all paved road for about 45mins to 1 hour where you’ll reach a viewpoint with signboard showing another 1km to Reservoir Island viewpoint and a cubicle toilet next to it. If you’re travelling with young children or strollers, this may be your endpoint for the hike. But if you want a better view! Keep going, the remaining 1km are pretty straightforward in the woods, there’s a clear path, just watch out the roots and rocks. When you see the signboard of Thousand Lake/ Reservoir Islands viewpoint, the stairs are right next to it, just climb up and keep walking. You’ll know when you arrived. * Distance: approx. 7.7km round trip * Altitudes: 296m * Time: approx 2 hours 40 mins * Toilet: Public toilet before the starting point at the village; then cubicle toilet after an hour walk * Difficulties: ⭐️⭐️ (although mostly paved road, but it’s ascending/ inclines like 80% of the time) * Scenic: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ X #hongkongkids #familyhiking #hikingkids #familytime #hongkongmoms #hikinghk #nature #hikingtrails #hiking
