Chai Wan to Big Wave Bay Beach

Chai Wan, Hong Kong
2.0 miles
An easy hike to the beach. 1:15 to walk a little less than 5k.  Easy to moderate climb.  Mix of dirt path and pavement.  There is some traffic on the road leading up out of Chai Wan .  It is possible to climb up through the cemetery to avoid traffic, though it is a tougher climb straight up a lot of stairs.  There is a small village near the beach with a...

nice hike from Pok Fu Lam reservoir, up west peak thing via peak tram station, then down to central.  Somehow don't trust the information from the iPhone though, don't remember going up to 130 km/h, or climbing 1,100 m, was more like 500, i think.

Causeway Bay to Mid-Level Escalators at Robinson Rd. via Bowen Rd.
by MikeMcD82 on Jan 16, 2009
Central, Hong Kong
3.8 miles
Just a simple walk from Causeway Bay Happy Valley area to the Central Mid-Levels escalator at Robinson Rd via Bowen Rd.  I believe this walk really shows off the diversity of Hong Kong Island.  You start off in the middle of the hustle and bustle that is Causeway Bay, then walk up through some very exclusive and private residential neighborhoods on Bowen Road, and finish in the urban residential area that is...

Reviews
gerund
The roads are very narrow and there are many buses on Hong Kong Island and the roads are steep especially in southern part like Repulse Bay and Stanley. There are no bike lanes, so you must be careful or you can use some flashing lights even in the daytime. Although it is hard to ride, it is fun beacause the view and the scenary are good.
