Details
Hike: LOHAS Park Station to Shek Mun Station
Difficulty Level: 3 out of 5
Distance: 19 km
Time: 5.5 hours
Description: This hike has a difficulty level of 3 out of 5 and although it is not a strenuous hike, it does cover a distance of 19.2 kilometers and it does reach an elevation of 477 meters (this is less than hiking up to The Peak on HK island at 522 meters). We'll start in LOHAS Park Station and traverse the brand new (opened in December of 2022) Cross Bay Link bridge overlooking Junk Bay, TKO and Lohas Park. We'll make our way towards Little Hawaii, the Kowloon Peak Viewing Point, and conclude our hike at Shek Mun Station.
Some highlights: We'll hike across the Cross Bay Link bridge. We'll get a chance to visit Little Hawaii. That's right, a beautiful waterfall situated along the hiking trail. We'll also enjoy terrific views of the city from the Kowloon Peak Viewing Point. This hike will be like candy for your eyes.
What to bring:
- 2-3 liters of water (water available for sale along the way)
- Snacks to eat along the way (sandwich, fruits, nuts, etc)
- Comfortable shoes
- Sunglasses
- Headgear (cap/hat)
- Sunscreen
- Bug Spray
- In case of Rain: plan accordingly
Toilets: There are some along the way; however, I do not know if they will be in service.
Stores: There are places at the beginning (LOHAS Park MTR) and at the end of the trail. It is best to come prepared with water and snacks.
Meeting Point: LOHAS ParK MTR - C2
Time: 10:00 am (SHARP!)
IMPORTANT: Out of respect to the members that arrive on time, we will only be able to wait a maximum of 5 minutes. Should you arrive after 10:05 am, I will no longer be answering phone calls or responding to messages as I need to give my time and attention to those that have arrived on time.
