Join Hong Kong Hikers Club for something a little different.

Welcome to our first Discovery Wednesday Mystery Hike, where the destination remains a secret until shortly before the event begins. Instead of focusing on a famous trail or well-known landmark, this adventure is all about exploration, curiosity, and discovering a hidden side of Hong Kong together.

The route, starting location, and highlights will remain under wraps until closer to the event date. What we can promise is that we've selected a scenic and enjoyable route designed to provide a rewarding midweek escape from the city, great company, and a few surprises along the way.

Will we be following coastal paths, wandering through hidden countryside trails, discovering a quiet reservoir, exploring forgotten villages, or uncovering a lesser-known viewpoint?

You'll have to join us to find out.
