The major trails are all very well marked and
looked after and easily accessible by public transport. Although
well-known, they are rarely crowded and provide some beautiful views of
the Hong Kong countryside. There are also minor trails which you'll
also see marked on maps but they can be overgrown.
You should not attempt these trails without a proper
map. The best ones are the Countryside Series available from some
bookshops and from the
HK government
website.
