The Route
Trek The Trail
If you are new to Hong Kong or hiking, our hiking guide is the perfect companion to lead the way. Simply download the app and select the Hong Kong Trail. Below are features of the guide you will find usful.
Guidance
Our app shows you the route and your GPS location. The trail changes from Purple to Green as you progress...how satisifying!
Information
Our location pins along the trail provide essential information for your hiking. We'll explain these in more detail below
Progress
The Hong Kong Trail is mighty and we don't expect you to complete it in one go. We will save your progress for when you return.
Distance
Eagle-eyed users will notice a discrepancy here. All official data shows the Hong Kong trail is 50kms long. However, most GPS data records it at about 46km. As our Trail Challenger uses actual GPS data, we opted for the latter.
Elevation Gain
A great trail for new people to hiking. Why? Because its starts on top of the peak! So a lot of the trail is actually downhill. Don't think it's a walk in the park though, there is still 1700m of elevation gain along the way.
Time
The average time on the trail is just shy of 17 hours. For beginners, we recommend doing this over 3 days. However, most people looking for a challenge will do it in two days. All in one day is achievable too....start early!
