P5K HK Backpacking: “been there, done that”


For most people, Hong Kong is one of the world’s most fascinating cities….a spectacular harbour, busy streets, bargaining vendors, fantastic architecture, active people….and so much more.

But few have discovered that, in contrast to all of the clamour that gives the city its buzz, it also offers some of the most tranquil, superb hiking and camping opportunities you will find in Asia.

Here are the activities that I personally devised and carried out last February 2009. Itinerary includes:

Round trip airport transfers
Welcome lunch and briefing
Transportation to and from the hikes
Overnight camping by the beach
Early morning assault to the Sharp Peak
1 night accommodation in a downtown hotel
2 bottles of water during the hike/camp
2 Snacks and drinks on the hikes
2 meals while camping
Sumptuous lunch at the city after hike
Outdoor shops tour
City Malling
Cocktail party celebration (optional)



I will be coming back to HK to do another Sharp Peak Adventure sometime soon. Those who wish to join may contact me by this blogspot.
