Hong Pak Country Trail Reversed 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 70 mins, 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 due to the 270m ascent.
The trail starts about 20 minutes walk up hill from Tai Koo MTR station. Follow the signs for Wilson Trail Stage 2. Hong Pak Country Trail Reversed branches off to the left from this trail along the way.



Hong Pak Country Trail Reversed, as well as being one of the most beautiful hiking trails we have hiked, has also got to be one of the most confusing trails as there are other paths leading off to the left and the right along the first km or two. Follow the path up to the right in the image below.
