A good place to go in summer. Four categories of hiking

Summer is hot, do we have to wait until autumn to continue hiking? In fact, as long as you choose the right hiking route, hiking and picnics in summer can be very relaxing and fun! This article introduces four types of places suitable for hiking in summer. Everyone should also do a good job of sun protection and collect information before setting off!

Category 1: Beaches
Hiking in summer is nothing more than cooling off in the water. If you want to enjoy hiking + beach, you can choose a beach that takes a while to reach. Examples are as follows:
Pak Lap Bay (20-minute walk)
Sai Wan (30-minute walk)
Ham Tin Bay (60-minute walk)

Category 2: Mountain stream + waterfall
Mountain streams do not necessarily have waterfalls, and waterfalls do not necessarily exist in mountain streams. However, there are many places in Hong Kong where mountain streams and waterfalls coexist. The mountain stream is like a cooler hiking trail, but many accidents have occurred due to the slippery rocks. Newbies are advised to take the path directly to the waterfall. Examples are as follows:
Little Hawaii Waterfall
Wutong Village Waterfall
Waterfall Bay

Category 3: Small Hills
Small hills are generally lower than mountain peaks. There are many hills in Hong Kong that are less than 100 meters high, and some are even very close to the city center. It takes less than half an hour to reach the top of the mountain. After going down the mountain, you can have a cold drink in a nearby restaurant! Examples are as follows:
Pingshan
Nammoshan (also known as Mount Gedun)
Gezaishan

Category 4: More shade
Shade and dense forests are treasures for hiking in summer. Choose a route with more shade, and you won’t feel tired even if you walk for 3-4 hours. Examples are as follows:
Yuen Tsuen Trail (lower half)
Shing Mun Reservoir
