Surprising treats for the senses await at Hong Kong’s Great Outdoors
Here are a few best-kept secrets about Hong Kong that will challenge the stereotype – nearly 70% of the city’s total area is countryside and mountains, and 263 outlying islands dot the city’s waters.
These great outdoor assets, easily accessible within compact Hong Kong, open up a world of spirit-lifting ideas to enrich any incentive and team-building programs, as well as pre-and post-event excursions for conferences and conventions.
Plenty of spirit-lifting ideas for every season
Summer is the best time to take on water sports, such as snorkelling in the various calm and shallow coastal waters that are just a short sampan-ride from the shore, or kayaking, dragon boating and raft building to enjoy team camaraderie or marvelling up close at the wondrous rock formation of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark.
In cooler months, go hiking to find inspiration in the changing colours of nature. There are dozens of hiking trails, country parks and nature attractions that suit different preferences and capabilities. Bring your team together for an outdoor challenge running from checkpoint to checkpoint across island trails in Tai O or Lantau, or take a leisurely hike at the Bride’s Pool to discover mesmerising waterfalls cascading through dense woodlands. Meditate about life’s possibilities through forest-bathing at the soothing sound of the Ng Tung Chai Waterfalls at the foothill of Hong Kong’s tallest mountain Tai Mo Shan. Clear your mind of worldly troubles in the idyllic yet safe settings of county parks such as the Shing Mun Reservoir.
All year round, island hopping, beach-combing or sandcastle-building make for great team building activities and excursions. Sparsely populated outlying islands such as Peng Chau, Po Toi Island and Tung Ping Chau are like live museums preserving the lifestyle and tastes evoking the city’s quintessential history.
Go seek, and you and your teammates shall find inner peace in nature and tranquil corners that you might not know exist in Hong Kong.
