The Wilson Trail is a 78-kilometre long-distance footpath in Hong Kong, The second longest of the long trails in Hong Kong, and one of the most technically challenging, is the Wilson Trail, which spans from the south of Hong Kong island in Stanley to the North, ending in Nam Chung.
This is not for the faint-hearted as this trail includes multiple climbs, including the infamous Twin Peaks, a cross-harbour trip, the Eight Immortals of Pat Sin Leng, with very little shade, and a trek into monkey territory from Sections 5 to 8, with very few designated camping spots.
The Wilson Trail traverses eight of the Country Parks. On Hong Kong Island, Tai Tam Country Park and the adjacent Quarry Bay Country Park begin the journey. Across the harbor, there is a gap where the trail runs through hills outside the parks. Then come the three parks named Ma On Shan, Lion Rock, and Kam Shan.
In the central New Territories, the Wilson Trail heads north through Shing Mun Country Park and Tai Mo Shan Country Park. It climbs into the majestic Pat Sin Leng Country Park.
