#visithongkong
Pineapple Dam Nature Trail is a popular hiking destination in Hong Kong.
The trail is well-maintained and offers breathtaking views of the city skyline.
The summit is marked with a distinctive pineapple-shaped rock, hence the name.
How to get there: Take the MTR to Tuen Mun Station, then take bus 962B or minibus 33 to the Pineapple Dam. From there, it's a 40-minute hike to the summit. The trail is well-marked and offers stunning views of Tuen Mun and the surrounding countryside.
At the top, you'll find a small pavilion where you can rest and enjoy the scenery. The hike is fairly easy, but still don’t underestimate the inclination!Bring plenty of water and wear comfortable shoes!
Admission to the trail is free.

Night Adventure
Readers might’ve notice we are quite an active family. We love outdoors activities. Be it the ocean, the beach, playgrounds and parks, farms, hiking at different trails. I always wanted to do a night hike, or some late evening adventures but my kids sleeps early, so we rarely have night activities.
Finally got the opportunity ! I saw this family activity - Night Adventure Walk tour and sign up right away knowing the tour guide is a nature-lover William. He impressed me with his knowledge of the nature livings few years back when I took K to join his day camp to explore the mangroves, swamp and playing with hays ! He is knowledgeable, he speaks both Cantonese and English, he is patient, and he really love and respect the nature, he is not something you see often, especially in Hong Kong. I do hope there’s more of him, there’s more of these activities that’s led by true nature lover, nothing too commercial.
On a Saturday evening, we meet up at the starting point of the Pineapple Dam trail approx 6pm, and the walk begins 15 mins later after briefing and final preparation. This is an amazing adventure for our family. We’ve been to this place, it’s a short trail, approx 1.5 km, but it’s a totally different experience. We see, we feel, we smell, we hear, we touch. At last, the tour overrun and took us over 3 hours to get back to the starting point.
My personal favourite is when we close our eyes and listen to the surroundings. It’s so peaceful but not quiet, when you listen to the nature, it’s lively ! It’s bustling with noises of different things.
Kids had much fun spotting insects, seeing fireflies, hugging trees, smelling leaves, using their headlights to find the night lives around them. And they got to practice respecting what the nature offers, learning to control their voice and behaviour to avoid being a disturb to night lives.
