MacLehose Trail Sections 1 & 2

Named after Murray MacLehose, the former Governor of Hong Kong, the MacLehose Trail is a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts, and offers a chance to experience the natural beauty and cultural diversity of Hong Kong.

Setting off on the 100km MacLehose trail can be daunting, but the first section is a nice way to ease into it with a relatively flat hike around High Island, Hong Kong’s largest reservoir. The downside is you are on a road all the way for those who prefer hiking on trails.

Section two is spectacular, possibly the best of all sections on this trial. Moving off the road you follow a coastal path up and down to three great beaches before veering off on another picturesque stretch passing the village of Chen Kong and onto Pak Tam Au to finish.
