For fitness junkies

You’ve hiked up Lion Rock and explored Shek O’s many geological formations, but have you rappelled down rocky cliffs or visited dramatic waterfalls? Why not try your hand at a range of more challenging outdoor activities – a combination of stream trekking, abseiling, rock climbing, zip-lining and more.

Tung Lung Chau and Beacon Hill are just two examples of Hong Kong’s many rocky areas that are ideal for active nature lovers and fitness enthusiasts dabbling in extreme hikes. The former is an idyllic island off the shores of Sai Kung, where climbers are rewarded with breathtaking coastal scenery, while the latter is a more easily accessible – though just as technical – option boasting dazzling views of Kowloon.

How to get there: There are various ways to get to both destinations. Award-winning adventure service Hong Kong Rock Climbing Adventure will guide you through their range of activities and locations that cater directly to your skill level, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned climber.
