Hong Kong Trail Sections 5 & 6

The Hong Kong Trail is a 50 kilometer hiking trail that runs through the heart of Hong Kong’s country parks and forests, showcasing the natural beauty of the region. 
The fifth and sixth sections of the Hong Kong Trail are very different from those that precede it. Section five starts with a steep climb up to Jardine’s Lookout where Victoria Harbour opens up below you. Following a ridge the section continues to provide great views both north and south all the way up to Mount Butler. From there is a fast descent through the Tai Tam Country Park, passing the upper and lower Tai Tam Reservoirs.
