Wilson Trail Section 10
getting there: from Taipo Market MTR station take minibus 20c to the tai mei tuk terminus and the. turn right from the bus area and start walking up the road until you come to the signs for pat sin leng nature trail. follow it for 2km or so and there is a sign point: left to Pat Sin Leng or straight forward will lead onto section 10. there is a Wilson trail marker on the left (the little backpacker sign) and it points these directions.
I read online where people said it was a boring end to the Wilson Trail but actually it’s quite beautiful and not as strenuous as some of the other sections. There is a lot of mountain streams and ponds and you can hear the water flowing a lot of the journey which is only like 6k. There were a lot of pretty old building ruins that made it look like a fairy tale woods. At the end you start going down a little road and if you continue to follow it to the town, there is a little outdoor restaurant and even some vending machines. You can catch the minibus from here to Fanling MTR station. #hiking #hikingtrails #hktrail #gooutside

Hiking scenery
This time I will take you to a challenging route, the Wilson Trail. We will first walk along the easier Violet Hill on Tai Tam Reservoir Road and overlook the beautiful scenery of Tai Tam Reservoir. Then we walked down to Repulse Bay Pass, and then climbed up Mount Magang to start a long climb. When you feel tired, you can only keep your head down and move forward. You can't see the end of the stairs when you look up. The number of steps you have walked is marked on the stairs, but there are many lush bell flowers next to them, as if silently cheering up the hikers. Walk out of this silent jungle of stairs, reach the top of the mountain, look back at the hillside full of white flowers, and then appreciate the scenery of Repulse Bay and Stanley below the mountain, and then you can breathe a sigh of relief.

Wilson Trail Section 4
The weather has finally improved recently. The sun is shining every day! This time we went hiking again, to the fourth section of the Wai Yi Sin Trail. This route is not too difficult, the total length is only about 8 kilometers!
We started from Sha Tin area and passed the Lion Pavilion on the way. The scenery along the way is beautiful, and the whole route is more shaded by trees, so you don't have to worry about sunburn. Halfway up the mountain need to go up and down the mountain, but it is not too difficult to walk, and the hike can see all the views of Sai Kung Oyster Bay,  and Tseung Kwan O, so it is not hard, walk almost four hours to go back to the mountain at Jing Lan Shue. The only part of the holiday program now is hiking. I hope the epidemic can end soon!

Flash Mob Wilson Trail
The Wai Yi Sin Trail, like the MacLeod Trail, is a long-distance hiking trail named after the Governor of Hong Kong during the British rule. The total length is 78 kilometers and is divided into ten sections. The first and second sections are in the Hong Kong Island area. This time I started from Stanley Gorge Road up to Zigong Mountain Observation Deck, the whole way is up the stairs...but the distance is very short, I didn't wash for an hour to get to the observation deck🤤 Stanley feels very good under my feet👍 #countryside good place
Warm reminder:
There is basically no flat road in the whole path, so it is more difficult and not recommended for first-time hikers.
Take Hong Kong Island Bus No. 6 or other route to Stanley via Reservoir Bay, pass through Cape Cod Road, get off at the second bus stop, and you will reach the starting point of the first section of the Satellite Trail ☝🏾

As soon as
As soon as you get off at Bus Terminal No. 16 in Lam Tin, you can walk directly to the Wilson Trail, which is super convenient. There are many beautiful bamboo forests along the way, and the stairs are easy to walk on. You can go down the mountain and return to the city at any time. Today we will go directly to Tiu Keng Leng and take the MTR back.

# Hiking the Wilson Trail in Hong Kong: A Hidden Gem
As an avid hiker, I recently had the pleasure of exploring the Wilson Trail in Hong Kong, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best hiking experiences I’ve had. Stretching over 78 kilometers, the Wilson Trail is divided into 10 sections, each offering unique landscapes and breathtaking views.
From the moment I embarked on Section 1, which starts at Stanley and meanders along the coastline, I was captivated by the stunning vistas of the South China Sea. The trail offers a perfect blend of lush greenery, rugged cliffs, and sandy beaches. The panoramic views of the ocean and the distant islands are nothing short of spectacular, making it an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts.
As I progressed to Section 2, I encountered the charming village of Tai Tam, where I took a moment to appreciate the serene environment. The trail here winds through historical landmarks, including the Tai Tam Reservoirs, which are a testament to Hong Kong’s rich history. The tranquil sound of water and chirping birds added to the peaceful ambiance, providing a delightful respite from the bustling city.
Accessibility and Difficulty
One of the standout features of the Wilson Trail is its accessibility. The trailhead is conveniently located near public transport, making it easy to reach from various parts of the city. Despite some steep and challenging sections, the trail is well-marked and maintained, suitable for both novice and experienced hikers. I recommend wearing sturdy shoes, as the terrain can be uneven at times.
Cultural Experience
Hiking the Wilson Trail isn’t just about the natural beauty; it’s also an opportunity to immerse yourself in local culture. Along the way, I encountered friendly locals and fellow hikers, sharing stories and tips about the trail. The sections passing through villages and temples offered a glimpse into the everyday life of Hong Kong residents, making the hike even more enriching.
Conclusion
In summary, the Wilson Trail is a must-do for anyone visiting Hong Kong, whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just looking for a leisurely walk in nature. With its stunning scenery, accessibility, and cultural richness, it stands out as a hidden gem in this vibrant metropolis. I found myself rejuvenated and inspired by the experience, and I can’t wait to return to explore more sections of this beautiful trail. Pack your backpack, grab some water, and get ready for an unforgettable adventure in the heart of Hong Kong!

a walking trail , almost a hike from Jardine's Lookout 渣甸山 to mount Butler in time for spectacular sunset over the Victoria harbour of Hong Kong. the Wilson trail via Wong nai ching reservoir is quite popular with the avid hikers looking for some solitude while enjoying the nature's walk. Along the trail, you can see the vista of the southern coast of Repulse Bay, Ocean Park and the Kowloon up the northern parts. The entire journey trail takes 2hrs to Jardine's lookout point but additional 3hrs onwards to Mount Butler. well worth it! #urbanexplorer #nationalpark #mountainview #hongkong

Wilson Trail Section 8 Peaceful retreat
Getting there: To get to the start of section 8 you should get off the mtr at Tai Po Market and take 23k minibus. you’ll pass a sign on the right that says Wilson Trail but don’t get off there, but at the next stop. On the right you’ll see a sign pointing to Cloudy Hill and once you get off the bus you’ll see the Wilson Trail mile marker. go through the little village there and you will eventually find the place to start hiking up. There is an online guide that said 440 steps to the top and I have no idea where this came from because there were a lot of steps more than that. Also, there is several times you are going on roads, you aren’t lost. I was rushed for time and didn’t get pictures from the top of the mountain and also, be warned that there’s not much shade on this section. nevertheless it was a beautiful hike through mountains and villages.#take a hike #hiking #mountainview #trail

Wilson Trail section 9
Getting There - Get off on Fanling stop from mtr and take bus 52B past the organic farm and walk through reservoir
Attractions - beautiful Mountain Views and lush greenery
Difficulty- 5/5
The beginning of the trail took a few km to arrive at and I got there through the reservoir. it’s over 10k through some rough uphill climbs and rocky steep slopes. if you’re looking for a challenge this is a great section to hike. once you get up in the mountaintops there are beautiful views overlooking Hong Kong and even Shenzhen on the mainland. There is less signage on this section so you should be careful not to end up off on one of the nature trails running through the area. To get back to civilization you can follow the signs to tau mei tuk and there is a bus terminal there with buses headed to many different metro stations, Tai Po market was the one I opted for. (the front top of the bus will tell you the final destination). #mytripvlog #tripblazers #trail #trails
