Nature Escape
Over 60% of Hong Kong is officially countryside - rolling hills, sprawling country parks,
surf-beaten coastlines, all gratis and within an hour from the nearest urban centre. There are
a multitude of ways in which you can enjoy the luxuriant vistas - by hiking, cycling, pic-
nicking or taking long walks along dappled paths.
Hit the Beach
Whether it's a dip in the waves, engaging in long overdue sun worship, or dotting footprints
along the shore, Hong Kong's beaches offer a free and enjoyable escape from the city. Ad-
mission is free and there are lifeguards. Just bring shades, sunblock, drinks and music, and
you're ready to party.
Art & Antique Trail
The charming streets of Soho and Sheung Wan are lined with art galleries and shops selling
Chinese antiques. You can take your time admiring the art and artefacts, or chat with the
owners.
