What we’re about
NEVER HIKE ALONE.
It is with good reason, hiking is one of the most popular outdoor activities in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has some absolutely breathtaking hikes! But no one should ever hike alone!
See the best of our city, and make some great new friends, as we hike our way across Hong Kong with fun, regular hiking events.
Bring some friends, or just show up by yourself, whatever the situation the goal is that we all have a great hike together and end up with a few new friendships along the way.
Our hikes aren't too intense, but occasionally we will mix it up with some hikes at different levels of difficulty.
Join the Hiking Group Facebook Group for more interaction and to connect further.
Hiking Group is coordinated by Lifehouse International Church as a community service, and all are welcome.
Hiking Group operates in partnership with the largest Language Exchange Meetup in Hong Kong. Check them out by clicking the link!
