You wouldn’t expect it, but Hong Kong is a fantastic hiking destination. Outside the busy center, you’ll find literally hundreds of miles of hiking trails. In free nature where you will not meet anyone and can fully enjoy the green mountains, blue seas and cute little ports. Together with Jimmy, I did four walks, and one I did on my own: a walk through beautiful Plover Cove, located in the northeastern part of Hong Kong, in the New Territories<\/em>. From the hotel it took a while to travel, but once I arrived in the sleepy village of Tai Mei Tuk, I was immediately enchanted by the natural beauty. Even though I have done this before, I found hiking alone through an unfamiliar forest quite exciting. Nevertheless, I began this hiking trail that pleasantly surprised me. Walk with me through deep Hong Kong nature and past beautiful views.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong: hiking in Plover Cove<\/h3>\n

In the far northeastern part of Hong Kong lies the Plover Cove nature reserve, far away from the hustle and bustle of the inner city. By subway I arrive in Tai Po, from where I take bus 75K to continue my way to the village of Tai Mei Tuk in half an hour. Here I walk 10 minutes to the Plover Cove Country Park Visitor Center<\/em>, where several hikes start from 4 to more than 20 kilometers in length. Before I go for a walk I check on this website<\/strong><\/a> first the current weather in Hong Kong and any warnings. After all, I am in hurricane season. It’s about 30 degrees, so with plenty of water I start this hike.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
