Hong Kong cleans up trail of destruction left from violent protests on China’s National Day
Subscribe to our YouTube channel for free here:
Clean-up work was underway across Hong Kong the day after violent protests marred grand celebrations to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
The violence escalated on October 1, 2019, despite the city being under virtual lockdown since the morning, with many shops and MTR railway stations closed. Marches and rallies quickly descended into chaos, including a police officer opening fire with a live round at a protester for the first time.
Protesters vandalised government offices and MTR railway stations, as well as businesses seen to have close ties with China or for voicing disapproval with the ongoing protests.

Hong Kong Trail Sections 1 & 2
The first two sections of the Hong Kong trail are the most varied. Starting as far up the peak as you can get, a small grass lawn offers a sweeping views across three sides of the island. Descending down to lugard road and looping around affords the best city views anywhere and a chance for refreshments around the galleria. Leaving Lugard road heading along section 1 of the trail you loose the crowds and immerse yourself in the think forests that cover the south side of the island with deep ravines and occasional waterfalls.
Take a taxi to the end of Mount Austin Road and then the right fork to a small grass lawn. From there descend first on the road you came up and then bear left onto a path that takes you down to Victoria Peak gardens. Walk around Governor’s walk until you find Harlech Road fitness trail that will take you down to Lugard road. You can cross over the road onto the Hong Kong trail but I suggest spending an hour to do the Luagrd road loop for some of the best city views Hong Kong has to offer. Once you are on the trail (off Hatton Road) just follow the signs until you reach Tin Wan where there is a path to your right that will take you off the trail and down to Aberdeen.
HONG KONG TRAIL 50KM HIKE
We did the full HK trail in one day. That's 50km with over 2400m ascent and over 2600m decline. Start at The Peak and end at the other side of the island at Big Wave Bay. We did this on a sunny, hot 31C degree day in mid October.
TIP: DON'T do this hike on a sunny Sunday! We ended up at Big Wave Bay that was packed and the bus line was around 200 people long! Also, there are around 8 toilets over the 8 stages but no water fountains (at least that we saw), so bring enough water for the first 25km and go into Park'nShop at Parkview and top up! Or do what we did and fill up at the taps by the toilets on the other side of Mount Butler (although they do say untreated water! YOLO)
Standouts: Hiking in pitch dark for an hour, in the night passing the spot we saw a Chinese cobra last week, seeing a huge porcupine, the sunrise over Aberdeen, lunchtime! And obviously finishing!!!
GOOD LUCK!

Hong Kong trail section 5 & 6 Victoria Harbour to the left, South Side to the right
Section 5 of the Hong Kong trail boasts views that would be hard to beat anywhere in the world. It’s a steep climb, first up to Jardine’s lookout and then to Mount Butler but the path is wide open for most of the way with sweeping city panorama’s on your left and mountains and reservoirs to your right. Section six is an easy decent through the lush Tai Tam valley as you weave through the four reservoirs on your way down to Tai Tam road.
Find Tai Tam reservoir road, just past the cricket club on Wong Nai Chung Gap road and head up till you see a big sign for the Hong Kong and Wilson Trails. The two trails run together for the first part as you make your way up to Jardine’s lookout. Bear right where the two trails part and follow the signs up to Mount Butler. From there steps will take you down to a small park. From here on in the trail is not marked. Bear right down a road to Tai Tam reservoir then continue down Tai Tam reservoir road. Look out for a sign on the left (it’s not obvious) that takes you on a small path to Tai Tam road.

Chinese soldiers on Hong Kong streets for first time since protests began
Soldiers from mainland China were sent on to the streets of Hong Kong for the first time since anti-government protests began about six months ago.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers helped Beijing supporters dismantle a fence and clear roadblocks near Kowloon Tong garrison.
The soldiers rarely leave their barracks - they were last seen a year ago cleaning up after Typhoon Mangkhut.
