Quarry Bay to Repulse Bay: escape bustling city on heritage hike to beautiful beachfront destination
-
About 10 km
-
About 2.5 hours
-
Moderate
Written by South China Morning Post ( Morning Studio )
This moderately easy, north-to-south hike across Hong Kong Island goes from Quarry Bay's bustling high-rise residential and commercial area, across the lush-forested Mount Parker and Tai Tam Country Park and ends at the beautiful beach destination of Repulse Bay. It passes a historic Edwardian-style red-brick building linked to a long-closed sugar refinery, and the beautiful, fish-filled emerald waters and impressive dams, bridges and aqueducts forming the Tai Tam Group of Reservoirs, offering a myriad of Instagram-worthy photograph opportunities. You can also explore Tai Tam Waterworks Heritage Trail, linking 21 preserved monuments, dip your toes in the sea at Repulse Bay Beach and unwind over dinner at a waterfront restaurant.
Refuel
There are no kiosks or vending machines along the route. Make sure you bring plenty of water and some snacks before you start.
