    What a beauty. The world is a wonderful place. I love it here. I want to travel constantly and travel throughout my life. I think those who are smart can travel the world anyway.

    This is one of Hong Kong's famous long-distance trails, stretching 70 kilometers across and around Lantau Island, starting and stopping at Mui Wo. The trail is partitioned into 12 sections with a range of distance and degree of challenge. It skirts coastline, mountain ridges and crosses several of HK's tallest peaks.

    There are distance markers throughout the trail around every 500 metres. The trail is well marked and easy to follow. Probably the most famous sections are #2 (Nam Shan to Pak Kung Au) taking in the strenuous hike up to Sunset Peak and #3 (Pak Kung Au to Ngong Ping 360 village) similarly taking in Lantau Peak which is also referred to as Sunrise Peak. These are some of the highest peaks in Hong Kong, affording hikers outstanding views.

    Note: You will find public toilets at the start/finish of the trail sections as well and bus stops - transportation to/from Mui Wo or Tung Chung, depending on where you are accessing various trail sections. The trails that scale Lantau's peaks are exposed to the weather elements so do come prepared with adequate hiking wear, sunscreen, hats as well as sufficient food and water for your hike.

    Super memorable! It is a strenuous hike (less than twin peaks), but not too long. The path is well marked, and the trail is well maintained. Seven stars out of five! It is a strenuous hike (less than twin peaks), but not too long. The path is well marked, and the trail is well maintained. For a lot of the hike, you will have shade, which is welcome. There are stops along the way for truly Instagram-worthy photos of the amazing views. The best one of course is on the very top of the loin's head (which needs just a bit of agilie rock climbing to get to). On the way back, check your GPS as there are several paths to get down - some short and some long. Instagram-worthy photos of the amazing views.

    …this outcrop is incredible. It really does resemble a lion from the ground and the vistas from the walk up and the peak itself are truly beautiful. Very much recommended for hike, best reached by starting at Fat Jong Temple (get a minibus from Wong Tai Sun or a taxi).

    The Kowloon Peak Viewing Deck is located alongside Fei Ngo Shan Road (Wilson Trail Stage 4) around half way through the Ma On Chan Country Park. Here you find a large opening in the mountains and spectacular views of Kowloon, Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island in the distance. The walk up to the Kowloon Peak can be entirely by way of road from the south, making it very much accessible for any level of hiking experience.

    Just to the south you will also find Kowloon Peak and the famous Suicide Cliff. This requires some more challenging hiking either from the east by way of Fei Ngo Shan Road or if you are an experienced hiker with good shoes, gloves and decent skill, an approach from the south near the start of Fei Ngo Sha Road and scrambling up the cliff side, first to Suicide Cliff and then further upward to Kowloon Peak (602m).

    There are world class views of the Kowloon Peninsula from the Kowloon Peak area. Just below the TV and Radio transmission stations, you will find some flat area and quite a few spots to take a seat upon rocks overlook much of the city of Hong Kong down below you. Views are excellent when sky conditions are favourable.

    Many locals enjoy doing the Kowloon Peak Viewing Deck and/or Kowloon Peak in the evenings allowing them to catch sunset and view the city lights down below. Early morning hikes before the sun is too harsh can provide rewarding views and a good bit of exercise as well.

    Note: When it comes to hiking in Hong Kong, make sure to have proper shoes, hat, sunscreen, plenty of water and snacks and know the weather situation on the day of your hike. Make use of hiking trail apps like Hiking Trail HK and check in with forum posters on the TripAdvisor Hong Kong forum for help if you're unsure about anything before starting out on your own somewhere.

    Great place to take your kids for a few hours of trampoline fun. We were not told its 2 floors hence we stayed on main level and later on discovered the 1 floor part of the venue. 4* only as it was quiet dirty with rubbish left everywhere and socks lying around. Staff friendly and helpful.

    This was our first attempt at an escape room and it was a fun experience. It was harder than I initially thought it would be. The room we used had minor defects but was in good condition. The negative is that they literally give you the solution to how to solve a particular task when you ask for 'clues'. Would recommend

    My sister & I had a fabulous afternoon with lovely Angel, who taught us so much about perfume & how it is developed. Angel then guided us through the intricate process of creating our own personal scent (which we got to keep!)

    It was such an interesting & unique experience for our holiday in Hong Kong & I love my perfume!
    Angel is a true professional, very experienced and delightful to work with.

    I highly recommend Angel & Intime. This workshop is a really memorable way to enjoy your time in Hong Kong!

    Came for the basic pistol and rifle proficiency course and stayed for the surplus of information possessed by instructor Jin. Incredibly approachable and beginner friendly course, followed by a wealth of useful knowledge. I highly recommend Gun Range Zero as a training facility and as a place to learn how to efficiently handle a firearm, beginner or experienced.

    Instructor Jin is very meticulous and careful, ensuring that you’re taking small but important steps to gradually become better at handling a firearm. He makes it clear that he understands your skill level and was pivotal in ensuring that I was confident with myself and my rate of improvement.

    Gun Range Zero also offers gunsmithing services, which upholds the same high quality and standard that training with Instructor Jin does. Overall, the facility is a place I will definitely return to as soon as I can.

    If you want to do an escape room in Hong Kong, make sure it’s this one rather than the more famous brand! The people here are friendly and the rooms are much better and well though-out.
    We did the Zodiac Killer and the Bunker rooms, which are both excellent! Can’t wait to try the other two!

    The paragliding was amazing! Emil was great and made us feel very comfortable the whole time! We got the whole flight recorded on his GoPro and shared with us the same evening. Would definitely recommend :))

    Pre tour communication with Rory was spot on. We discussed our expectations/abilities & he recommended the Plover Cove Hike & Bike tour. What fun we had with friendly guide Tristan as we cycled & hiked the area.
    We had a fabulous day, & I would definitely recommend this tour to see a different side of bustling Hong Kong.

    This was such a phenomenal way to spend a day in Hong Kong - the views were spectacular and sliding down waterfalls was quite a thrill! Thank you so much to Gordon and Ada for such a fantastic experience!

    I'm a local but there are over 12,000 licensed restaurants in the city - this was a perfect opportunity to show overseas visitors local eats; I didn't wanna miss out & a perfect end to a busy week of work! Ashley not only takes you to the local must eats, but also provides the background stories to the families behind each shop. it made me realise that we all play a part in supporting these individual businesses, which makes our city special. Join with an open mind, stay curious & soak it all in!

    I went to this cabin for new years with friends and had the most memorable time! Anthony is an amazing host!

    Cabin is well kept and organised. Kitchen is fully equipped with EVERYTHING you can think of. Even an espresso machine. 😍 The bathrooms are private which is a blessing. Just pack a change of clothes and off you go. Views are amazing ofcourse! There’s a couple of great spots to hike nearby as well
    Waterfall is serene ♥️

    We had the best slack lining and surfing experience! Had a great bonfire and bbq session! such a great company and place to start the new year ♥️
