Hiking Hong Kong Peng Chau Loop 05

Please visit our Peng Chau Information page for more details about Peng Chau including Ferry Timetables from and to Central, Discovery Bay and Cheung Chau as well as a run down of the various hiking trails found on Peng Chau.

This hiking trail starts off and finishes the same way as Peng Chau Loop 03, but takes a slightly shorter route to make for a quick and easy stroll.

This shortened version of Peng Chau Loop 03 scrapes through on a 3 star rating for enjoyment, purely due to the excellent views offered when walking through the graves at the top of the mountain. The trail is very easy and quick to complete.

The starting point for this hike is the Peng Chau Market which is located mid-way between the Central ferry pier and the Discovery Bay ferry pier.

Starting the hike at the Peng Chau Market, continue around the right hand side of the market and past HSBC. On the right you should find a small shop selling drinks: grab a couple of drinks if it is a hot day.

At the end of this alley, go towards the left and turn right straight away into a dark alley way.

As it comes into the warmer months after summer, you will start to see the appearance of these Giant Golden Orb Weaver spiders. This one pictured above was seen in March and is about the length of my little finger (leg span included). When fully grown, they may be as large as a mans hand.

Continue through the alley way and at the end turn left around the big tree and then head right toward the beach.

At the beach take a left and continue along the beach front. On a clear day you can see Hong Kong Island from here.

After the Temple, take the second left at the street lamp pictured above.

Up ahead, go right then left through the chicane.

When you get to the silver shed which is actually someones house, turn left.

Turn left again and head up the stairs toward the junction at the top of the hill and take another left.

Up ahead we pass through an area scattered with grave sites. One thing you can be sure of when coming across these areas is that there will be a good view.

Continue out the other side of the grave areas and down the steps. Turn right at the bottom.

At the next junction turn left and head back towards the Peng Chau Market.

Continue along the road and past the residential buildings, toward the water front.

Veer left at the park then right at the fire station. Walk past Wellcome and back to the ferry pier from where you started.
