One of the best things about living in Hong Kong is how quickly you can go from the city to nature—even from the most central and urban areas, rolling mountains and sea views are always within easy reach.
While avid hikers will already be familiar with famously quick and easy hikes on Hong Kong Island like the Peak Circle or Rhino Rock, one of our favourite hidden Hong Kong Island gems is the walk to Cape Collinson Battery, on the easternmost part of Hong Kong Island.
When we say hidden, we mean hidden—even though Cape Collinson Battery has been around since 1938, there aren’t any signs or even a designated trail leading to it. That being said, it’s not a long or difficult walk, and you’ll forget about any inconvenience when you see the views.
