Many people regard Hong Kong as a ‘concrete jungle’. But that is a wrong impression! More than 40% of the total land area has been set aside in 24 Country Parks.
Hong Kong is a delight for hikers. From strolls to challenging hikes to heights of almost 1000 metres you can find anything here.
This app introduces the most common hikes on Hong Kong, country trails on Lantau Island, in the New Territories and on the Outlying Islands.
For each hike you can find route locations, route maps and elevation profiles.
You can always search for different grades as well as for different regions.
The app describes every route, including its length, hiking time, level of difficulty and gives the emergency hotlines of every country park.
Detailed information of public transport from and to Central is given for every hike.
A helpful detail: you do not need to be online during a hike!
But you can when using the Locate Me button to see where you are.
Latest reviews of Hiking in Hong Kong app for iPhone and iPad
Finally, there is a useful app with hiking trails in Hong Kong! Either for inspiration where you can go or to have all useful information about a tour with you. I can absolutely recommend this app!
Terrible app! It lists only 8 trails on Hong Kong island and fails to mention the better known trails on the Southside like Dragons Back, the Twins, Violet Hill, etc... Totally not worth the $$!
