“Unlocking Hong Kong Trail” hiking challenge commences today
A spokesman for the AFCD said, “The Hong Kong Trail, divided into eight sections and spanning 50 kilometres, is the most hiker-friendly among the four long-distance hiking trails in Hong Kong. Starting at Victoria Peak and ending at Big Wave Bay, it traverses five country parks. Located at Victoria Peak, Section 1 offers spectacular views of Victoria Harbour and is part of the “Four Peaks” tourism project under the Working Group on Developing Tourist Hotspots. The AFCD set up eight checkpoints along the Hong Kong Trail for hikers to collect e-badges while learning about the unique features of each section and enjoying their hike.”
From today until February 28, 2026, the public and visitors can register on the “Unlocking Hong Kong Trail” event website at www.unlockinghktrail.hk
There are maps and detailed information about the Hong Kong Trail on the event website. The AFCD reminds participants to take into account their fitness and hiking experience when planning a hike and to pay attention to the weather conditions. It is advisable to hike with friends and family members. The public is also reminded to take their litter away and help conserve the countryside by practising hiking etiquette.
