Hong kong trail sections 1 2
Hong Kong Trail (Chinese: 港島徑), opened in 1985, is a long-distance footpath from Victoria Peak to Big Wave Bay on Hong Kong Island. The Hong Kong Trail is a 50 kilometre walking route which passes through the five country parks on Hong Kong island. Given that Victoria Peak and Big Wave Bay are less than 11 km apart as the crow flies, the trail takes a very indirect route.

Stages
The Hong Kong Trail is divided into eight stages:
Easy Walk
Fairly Difficult
Very Difficult
Green Power Hike
The Green Power Hike is a walkathon along the 50 km Hong Kong Trail hosted by Green Power Hong Kong during February each year. Income from the Green Power Hike funds local environmental education in schools and the community. Green Power is an independent green organization which receives no Government subvention and is financed by public membership fees, sponsorships and donations.
Rainbow Trek
The Rainbow Trek is a team race run during October or November each year. Teams of four must complete the 50 km trail together, though there is a mandatory 30 minute rest period after the first 25 km. Initiated in 2005, the trek seeks to raise funds for the Rainbow Project, a local based charity trying to improve education facilities for autistic children in the territory.
Trail Walker @ HKU
Trail Walker @ HKU is a challenge tailored for over 300 HKU students in teams of 4. Organized annually by General Education Unit of HKU with support of Mr Panda Lee from 2002, it holds the record of only trail walk activity with no garbage left behind. The trail walk aims to challenge students to rediscover qualities like resilience, endurance, courage and team spirit. A briefing session is held one month prior to on-day to provide practical information for students' better preparation. The Trail Walk will span a full day starting at 8 am on a weekend in November, starts from Big Wave Bay and finishes at HKU.
