Wilson Trail
Two stages of the rugged 78-kilometre Wilson Trail are on Hong Kong Island, stretching from Stanley on the south side to Taikoo Shing on the northern coast. Trekkers then cross the harbour via public transport for the other eight stages of the trail, which finally ends in Nam Chung in the northern New Territories. The Wilson Trail is only recommended for experienced hikers as the terrain can be hard going.
In all, the Wilson Trail traverses eight of the Country Parks. On Hong Kong Island, Tai Tam Country Park and its Quarry Bay Extension begin the journey. Across the harbour, there is a gap where the Trail runs through hills outside the parks. Then come the three parks named Ma On Shan, Lion Rock and Kam Shan. In the central New Territories, the Wilson Trail heads north through Shing Mun Country Park and Tai Mo Shan Country Park. Finally it climbs into the majestic Pat Sin Leng Country Park. Each of the Country Parks the Wilson Trail traverses has its individual character and appeal – offering, as one proceeds from south to north, changing settings with much of interest.
