A hiking adventure in the big city of Hong Kong

My wife and I had always wanted to hike again in Hong Kong after our unforgettable experience in 2018. So, last December, we did just that – we went back to the city to explore new trails and did some off-the-beaten track sightseeing too.

We arrived during a really cold spell and to acclimatise, we went for walks near our accommodation, a little hamlet on the fringe of the Ma On Shan Country Park. We came across Tsang Tai Uk, a Hakka village built in 1874 by the Tsang clan.
