Flat hikes to do in summer in Hong Kong – get outdoors in the heat without the steep climbs
- Still enjoy Hong Kong’s Country Parks this summer, but avoid the exposed steep climbs in the heat by heading out on flat hikes
- Flat undulating hikes still offer great rewarding views without the extreme sweat and effort
But there are flat hikes, with undulating, small hills that have great views and end in stunning locations for you to enjoy while you wait for the balmy temperatures of Autumn to return.
Mui Wo to Pui O – 6km
Get the ferry from Central Pier 6 to Mui Wo. Turn left out of the ferry and follow the coast round. You will pass McDonalds, a bike shop and a right turn, and then a left turn. Just where the buildings and building sites end, there is a sharp right turn up some steps into the trees.
You will find yourself on a trail – follow it, as it undulates in the shade of trees, with the sea to your left. Keep going straight, even if there is a right hand turn that is signposted to Pui O, ignore it. Eventually you will reach a wide flat grassy area. Turn right and walk across the grass towards the couple of buildings at the back of the open area.
