WELCOME TO MY HONG KONG CYCLING BLOG


This is my Blog about cycle rides in Hong Kong.

There is a surprising amount of cycling in Hong Kong.  Both road and mountain bike.  I focus on road cycling in the three main areas: Hong Kong Island, Lantau, and the New Territories.

Below is an overview.  You will find all the details of rides in the index at the side.  Also links to my other Blogs.  I hope you find this useful.

Firstly, Hong Kong Island.



Hong Kong Island: The route to the Peak 
Hong Kong Island: Two different ways to get to the Peak from Central 1. the less steep No.15 bus route above Happy Valley (past Km.5), and the very steep Magazine Gap Road (past Km 20) better suited for a careful descent.
HK Island: The route across to Shek O from Central

Hong Kong Island: The other popular route to Shek O on the South East corner - full of sea views



Secondly, Lantau Island.  The north side of Lantau Island is flat and the road between Tung Chung/Sunny Bay and Disneyland is the most popular in HK. The trip to the South side, and also to the Giant Buddha, is less travelled as there are some very steep slopes but it is very picturesque. 


Lantau: Several steep climbs to reach the Giant Buddha


Lantau: Tai O (Km 32), The Buddha (Km 25), Mui Wo (Km 55) and the "Beast" (Km 7)
The beautiful beaches of South Lantau
Thirdly, the New Territories. Stretching from the Harbour to the Chinese border, there are bike tracks, village roads and the ride up HK's highest peak - Tai Mo Shan

New Territories: a fun ride up Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong's highest peak
New Territories: typical cycling route close to the Chinese Border
