The MacLehose Trail

"Stretching 62 miles across Hong Kong’s New Territories, the MacLehose Trail is often counted among the world's most beautiful hikes. Though the trail is divided into 10 stages, most travelers gravitate toward Stages 1 and 2, which are some of the more accessible and scenic sections, located around Sai Kung. Stage 1 is mostly on a road that wraps around the edges of High Island Reservoir. It takes about three hours, culminating with two big payoffs: fascinating rock formations, created by the eruption of a super-volcano millions of years ago, and beautiful Long Ke Wan beach. From there, hikers can continue another 8.3 miles along Stage 2, which undulates across the Peninsula’s coastal hills, before curving into the shadow of Sharp’s Peak and finishing in Pak Tam Au." - Kate Springer
