Hover over the map for more information about all eight sections of the Hong Kong Island Coastal Trail.
Now you can walk all the way between Central, Sheung Wan, Sai Ying Pun, and Kennedy Town along the waterfront. An easy flat section of the trail that offers constantly changing views of Victoria Harbour and some iconic landmarks along the way.
Mt. Davis Coastal Walk is approximately 3.5 kilometers long, spanning through the Western District of Hong Kong Island. This route is rich in British colonial features, passing by numerous historical buildings left over from the colonial era, documenting the lives of the Hong Kong people during that period and bearing witness to the 156-year British rule over Hong Kong Island.
Aberdeen Harbour Walk is approximately 7.4 kilometers long, connecting the Western District to the Southern District of Hong Kong Island. Along the way, it passes through the famous public housing estate called Wah Fu Estate, known as the “mansion for the common man.” In the vicinity of the estate, there are several small hidden gems waiting to be discovered, offering a glimpse into the local culture and stories of Wah Fu Estate. The route also crosses through the fishing community of Aberdeen.
Southern Beaches Walk is approximately 10.4 kilometers long and is a must-visit route on the way to Stanley. The route passes through Repulse Bay Beach, a popular spot for water activities and hiking enthusiasts. Make sure you don’t miss it! In addition, this year a new section has been added to back and forth Chung Hom Kok, which takes you to the Chung Hom Kok Park, offering breathtaking views of the surroundings.
Tai Tam Nature Walk passes through Tai Tam Harbour and the main dam of Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir, also known as “Asia’s First Dam”. This section is generally flat and suitable for beginners who enjoy the scenic beauty of mountains and water and are interested in experiencing steep uphill slopes.
Note: Due to landslide and fallen trees, part of Hong Kong Trail Section 7 is temporarily closed for clearance and maintenance. The Start / End Point of Tai Tam Nature Walk is Stanley Murray House / Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir Dam.
The Long Dragon’s Back Walk connects part of the Hong Kong Trail Section 8. It passes through the famous hiking trail known as Dragon’s Back, where hikers can easily enjoy the stunning scenery of Hong Kong’s alternative countryside, which is just as beautiful as that of Sai Kung.
Note: Due to landslide and fallen trees, part of Hong Kong Trail Section 8 is temporarily closed for clearance and maintenance. The Start / End Point of Long Dragon’s Back Walk is To Tei Wan Bus Stop, Shek O Road (Hong Kong Trail Section 8) / Tai Tam Gap Correctional Institution, Shek O Road.
Chai Wan City Walk passes through the Chai Wan and Shau Kei Wan areas in Hong Kong. This area used to be the British intelligence center and a fortress for defending the eastern part of Hong Kong Island. The Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence, located near the route, is a historic site that was converted from the former Lyemun Fort. It has a history of over a hundred years and is worth visiting to learn about the defense and military development in Hong Kong’s history.
The eastern part of Victoria Harbour offers stunning views, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of the Hong Kong Island coastline and the Victoria Harbour. Electric Road and Java Road are important roads connecting the Eastern and Central districts of Hong Kong Island. Electric Road originated from the early development of electric lighting companies in the eastern part of the island, which contributed to the prosperity of the entire street and even the North Point community.
