 Jade-green peaks, crashing waves, fung shui woods, rocky harbors and ancient walled villages - only a few miles separate all this from one of the worlds most crowded cities. Four long-distance trails allow access into this scenic landscape.
The Hong Kong Trail: view the cityscape from above as you discover ancient pathways, highland reservoirs and wartime ruins hidden in the lush country parks
The Wilson Trail: a journey from edge to edge of Hong Kong, across airy uplands from the southern shore to within sight of the Chinese border
The MacLehose Trail: 100 kilometres of the New Territories greatest natural wonders, from Hong Kongs highest peak to Sai Kungs most magnificent beaches
The Lantau Trail: follow this mountainous circuit of beaches and monasteries to lose yourself in the open wilderness of Hong Kongs largest island
Let these four individual books signpost your way into that other Hong Kong, a wild place where your city-dwellers spirits may be revived. Includes detailed maps covering the four long-distance trails.

Born in London, travel writer Pete Spurrier arrived in Hong Kong in 1993 after a two-year overland journey along the Silk Road from Europe to China. Expecting to stay in the then-British colony for only a month, he soon found himself beguiled by Hong Kongs cosmopolitan character and wild scenery, and he has been based in the city ever since. In books, he has written The Serious Hikers Guide to Hong Kong, The Leisurely Hikers Guide to Hong Kong and The Heritage Hikers Guide to Hong Kong, all of which have been published in multiple editions.
