A complete guide to hiking on the MacLehose Trail | A must-try classic route for Hong Kong hikers]

#香港行山郊游 【 The MacLehose Trail is the most famous hiking trail in Hong Kong. It is 100 kilometers long and is divided into 10 sections. The scenery varies from beaches, jungles to mountains, satisfying different preferences at once! This time, I challenged the most popular first section (Pak Tam Chung to Long Ke), which is about 10 kilometers and can be completed in 2-3 hours. It is also suitable for beginners. There is a parking lot and toilet at the starting point of Pak Tam Chung. After starting, you will soon enter the tree-lined trail. You will pass the High Island Reservoir on the way. The spectacular dam and the blue lake are definitely worth taking pictures. The latter section turns into Long Ke Bay. The sand is fine and the water is clear. There are few people and it is quiet. It is a great place to relax. The whole slope is gentle, but you need to pay attention to gravel and insects on some sections. It is recommended to wear non-slip shoes. Friendly tips: Remember to bring enough water, sunscreen, and download offline maps. The scenery of each section of the MacLehose Trail is different. Next time, I plan to challenge other sections to experience another side of Hong Kong!
