7 Short Hikes With The Best Views In Hong Kong

If you live in Mid-levels, this trail is right in your backyard. Start your jaunt at the end of Conduit Road and stroll up Hatton Road onto the trail directly above the Police Station. Continue uphill for about 45 minutes until you reach Harlech Road. Stay to the right and you will end up at The Peak Galleria after about 20 minutes.

Start your day with a cruise up the Peak Tram or take a taxi to The Peak Galleria. Choose the flat path around the Peak on Luggard or Harlech Road (approx. 4.6km), or take Mount Austin Road uphill toward Victoria Gardens. Allow time for post-stroll shopping, eating or drinking at The Peak Galleria.

Already a favorite among many Hong Kongers, Bowen Road is an excellent choice for when you are craving a break from the bustling city street. It is also the ideal spot to break out the jogging stroller that has been collecting dust since your baby shower. Tell the taxi to drop you off at Bowen Road (off Garden Road) to start your walk. One-way: 4.2km. Round-trip: 8.4km.

Strolling south? Start this walk at the entrance of Hong Kong Parkview where the Wilson and Hong Kong trails begin. Many parents like to walk or stroll around the park, but you can get more adventurous if your kids are up for it by heading towards Tai Tam Reservoir.

For more island fun with the fam, hop on a ferry and head to Lamma Island (Yung Shue Wan) from Central. Grab lunch and watch the kids be amazed by the live seafood. Stroll to Hung Shing Yeh Beach and keep rolling down the path to Sok Kwu Wan, where you can grab more seafood snacks and take a ferry back to Central.

Start your journey at Hong Kong Jockey Club Riding School in Pokfulam. Once you have reached the Reservoir, head toward The Peak by following the Hong Kong Trail on the left or the Peak Trail on the right. For extra thrills, take the Peak Tram down and call it a day!
