Hong Kong Island Tour

City sights, coastal vistas, and seaside views – this 60-kilometer tour of Hong Kong Island is a feast for the eyes and the legs.

While the route does take in some of the island’s busy roads, including the narrow coastal ones from Repulse Bay over to Stanley, we think this ride is worthy of a place in our top five because of the diversity of locations covered and a good measure of hill climbing. You’ll ride through the city and up to The Peak, then down to Repulse Bay, onto Red Hill, across to Cape D’Aguilar, then cross the finish line at Shek O Beach.
