Welcome to Hiking Hong Kong

Hiking Hong Kong reviews undiscovered hiking trails in Hong Kong as well as those that have previously been documented. There is an abundance of parkland in Hong Kong that offers a great escape from the busy city life. It would be a shame not to appreciate and experience this beauty.

Hiking Hong Kong was founded and is updated and maintained by Michael Pieper (pictured), who has been a resident in Hong Kong now for 7 years. In his quest to make Hong Kong a cleaner & greener place to live, this website was born in order to show the people of Hong Kong that a hiking trail is available to you wherever you reside and that much fun can be had hiking in the hills of Hong Kong.

Hiking Hong Kong aims to be the number one hiking resource in Hong Kong. We aim to review all hiking trails in Hong Kong no matter how big or small. We are passionate about reducing the air pollution levels in Hong Kong and feel that the more we can show off the beauty in Hong Kong, the more the public will appreciate it, and voice their opinions of the amount of air pollution in Hong Kong.

Keep a look out for regular updates to this site as new hikes are covered and new information added. You will find them, for easy reference under 'Hiking List', to the right. Below, you will find news updates which will alert you to any updates to the site along with the date that they were posted for your easy reference.

eNewsletters will be sent out to all members, reviewing hikes and keeping you up to date with events and products related to hiking in hong kong. Sign up to receive our enewsletters.
