Hong Pak Country Trail has to be one of the best hiking trails that I have ever hiked in Hong Kong. With great views, great trail composition and the perfect length, this hiking trail rivals all others. Wildlife is however a little sparse as this trail is quite popular.

Trail enjoyment ranks in at a whopping 5 stars for this Quarry Bay hiking trail. The trail offers a short hike of about 1 hour, fantastic views of Quarry Bay and surrounds as well as a wide selection of trail compositions, with a different perspective at every turn. Difficulty ranks in at 3 stars as ascent is only 140 meters, with descent at almost twice that amount.

The trail starts on Mount Parker Road, up from Quarry Bay. You can catch a taxi up the hill to the starting point, or you can first complete Hong Pak Country Trail Reversed, as the ending point of this trail is only 20 minutes walk from Tai Koo MTR station.

Hong Pak Country Trail overlooks Quarry Bay, offering great views from many angles. This is one of them.

Trail composition is beautiful, with a different scene at every bend.

Towards the end of this trail, there are many trails which branch off in various directions. It can get very confusing as the trail is not marked well. Keep left below.

Keep to the left below and then straight ahead as you pass the stairs in the rock.
