Description: Join us for an all-day adventure at Robin’s Nest and Lin Ma Hang Country Trails in the New Territories. This hike is rated 3.5/5 in difficulty, so please come prepared and be ready to walk at a brisk pace without assistance. The route offers rolling hills, dense woodland, and stunning ridge-line views of Sha Tau Kok, Shenzhen, and Double Haven. Along the way, we’ll explore World War II relics—pillboxes, trenches, and hidden caves—before reaching scenic spots like Ah Kung Kok and Hung Fa Chai. We’ll also visit the historic Lin Ma Hang Mine, now an open-air museum and bat sanctuary, with panoramic views of Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Expect a challenging but rewarding experience with breathtaking scenery. Bring plenty of water, snacks, and gear for changing conditions.
