Things to do in Hong Kong, China: The Best Outdoor Activities
Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features. Get an eyeful of traditional Chinese architecture in Ngong Ping village, then take the tram to the tippity-top of Victoria Peak for unparalleled views. The rocks and gentle hills of Nan Lian Garden will bring you inner peace, as will a calming cup of tea in a Stanley café. Become one with everything at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a serene Buddhist complex.

This year we hiked Lantau Trail Sections 5 and 6, section 5 running from Sham Wat Road to Man Cheung Po and 6 from Man Cheung Po to Tai O. Make sure you take good hiking shoes with a good profile, as the trail goes up and down a lot. Much of the trail is in the open, so also take enough water and sun block and a hat if it is sunny. The scenery is beautiful and you can have an almost 360° view of Lantau from some of the peaks you climb on these sections. One additional benefit of this section of the Lantau trail is that it is not crowded. On the beautiful January Saturday afternoon we took the hike, we met less than 15 hikers on a 10 km stretch....

Cheung Sha Beach on Lantau Island is an easy day trip. It’s a beautiful swimming beach, with a long expanse of golden sand, fringed by distant mountain peaks. A truly unique feature are the water buffalo. Unbothered by beach-goers and bright umbrellas, it's not unusual to see the water buffalo lumber past along the sand. It’s very scenic and a completely different side of Hong Kong. A string of Western style restaurants and bars runs along the beachfront so you can easily spend a long, lazy day here. On weekends, if you are with a group, it’s best to book ahead as they are very popular. We recently ate at Lantana, a relaxing Italian restaurant, overlooking the beach. There are public change rooms, showers, toilets and lifeguards and umbrellas, kayaks and other water sport activities can also be hired. If you want a quieter beach experience, you can very easily walk around to Upper Cheung Sha Beach. A small headland divides the two beaches. Facing the ocean, head to your right, towards a traditional lookout pavilion perched on the headland and you’ll find a small track just behind the headland that leads to the other beach. Getting There: It's a bit of a trek from Central but ferries leave frequently from Central Pier 6 to Mui Wo. From here, you can get a taxi or catch the Lantao bus (#1 #2 or #4). After about 20 mins, you get off at Lower Cheung Sha Village.
