Enjoyment ranks in at 4 stars for this short 2.4km hiking trail. Quarry Bay Jogging Trail gets you away from the noise of Hong Kong, offers great views over Quarry Bay and Sai Wan Ho and leaves you with enough energy to return along the same route or to continue onto Hong Pak Country Trail. Difficulty is almost non existant as the trail is predominantly flat.
