Just 10km southwest of Hong Kong Island lies the bustling neighbourhood of Cheung Chau. Translated as “long island” in Cantonese, Cheung Chau is one of the locals’ favourite day trip destinations, famed for its laidback vibes and fishing village scenery. It may sound too good to be true, but this hike only takes an hour and will reward you with incredible views of the coastline and take you to a secluded beach off the beaten path.
