With summer fast approaching, travellers are no doubt gearing up for a fun exploration of Hong Kong. What some tend to forget, however, is that apart from modern marvels and historical gems, this destination also has some idyllic waterfalls perfect for hiking enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
The Falls at Waterfall Bay Park
Starting things off is the falls at Waterfall Bay Park which can be found in Pok Fu Lam. You can plan a rewarding trip here from Tsim Sha Tsui properties like Park Hotel Hong Kong which makes an ideal base for sightseeing. To reach the waterfall, take a bus to Cyberpoint Waterfront Park, after which you will have a relatively easy 3.5 km hike before reaching this cascading beauty.
Tai Shui Hang Waterfall
To find this attraction, you will have to head to the Ma On Shan Country Park, which you can reach while staying at a hotel in Kowloon, Hong Kong. To get to Tai Shui Hang Waterfall, you will have to undertake a hike amidst a stream to Ma Dai Stream. This is an ideal place to explore for those looking to enjoy the thrills of canyoning, while equally captivating are the stunning views from the top of the falls.
Ng Tung Chai Waterfalls
Those looking to venture further can plan an excursion to Lam Tsuen Valley where you can look forward to going off the beaten track. This adventure is better suited for more experienced hikers who will have to take it slow since it can get quite steep at some spots. The great thing is that on your hike, you will pass not one, but four waterfalls; don’t forget to cool off at the second one with a refreshing dip!
Bride’s Pool Waterfall
While Bride’s Pool Waterfall is one of the most beautiful natural attractions in Hong Kong, getting there by public transport can take some time. Of course, once you arrive in this area, you will be rewarded with scenic landscapes amidst nature’s tranquillity. It’s a relatively easy hike to the falls which has become a popular spot since you can have a cooling dip as well as a picnic with family or friends.
