Details
Hike: Wong Shek Pier to Sai Wan Pavilion (not suitable for beginners)
Difficulty Level: 3 out of 5
Distance: 12 km (approximate)
Time: 6+ hours (approximate)
Description: This hike is rated Level 3/5 (Moderate+) and is not suitable for beginners, as participants must be able to maintain a brisk, steady pace and stay with the group throughout. We will not be able to wait for extended periods for anyone falling behind, so if you need more time or choose to move at a slower pace, you will need to navigate independently. The route offers a scenic coastal experience, starting from Wong Shek Pier and passing through charming villages such as Chek Keng and Ham Tin Wan before reaching the tranquil Sai Wan Beach, where there will be time to relax, swim, or enjoy the sun. The hike continues past the Sai Wan Stargazing Site and Campsite, finishing at the stunning Sai Wan Pavilion with beautiful views, with the highest point reaching 245 meters. Be sure to bring swimwear and some cash for refreshments, as we may stop at local cafés and village stores along the way.
