Three great Hong Kong country walks with baby in a stroller
Get away from it all and take your toddlers on these hikes
car-free, tree-lined roads with wonderful views are the order of the day with this hike. It's not easy; there are hills, but you will feel like you have escaped from Hong Kong. This is a great hike, a world away from Central, with picnic tables and a butterfly garden - you will be glad you visited.
10km (or less if you turn around earlier)
three hours
yes, pretty strenuous but perfectly achievable with a stroller
most of the walk is tree-lined, although still exposed in places.
out and back
from Tai Lam Country Park (barbecue pits and car park) to Sham Tseng Settlement Basin
Shing Mun Reservoir
a great buggy hike with lovely views. Strenuous enough for most walkers with strollers, this hike is easy to follow with plenty to look at. It can be broken up with a picnic with some lovely areas for chilling out (make sure that there are no monkeys in the vicinity before breaking out the snacks).

Cheung Chau
a great day trip from the city, this walk around the car-free island can be done in a morning followed by lunch at one of the many seafood restaurants. If you need more adventure there are pirate caves for bigger kids to explore and plenty of beaches.
