Stanley to Chai Wan

Stanley to Chai Wan

This is the toughest and wildest walk on the coastal trail by a long way. Almost double all the other walks because you need to get from Stanley all the way round to Chai Wan in one long yomp

Starting off with a precarious road walk from Stanley to the Tai Tam Dam, the walk drops onto a catch water that follows the serene Tai Tam Habour. Once onto the Shek O Road you have two choices, either continue with the road around to Big Wave Bay or take the scenic route up and over the Dragon’s Back. From Big Wave Bay it’s another climb with stunning coastal views as you make your way over to Chai Wan.
