Reach new heights at Hong Kong’s highest peak! Located roughly at the center of New Territories, Tai Mo Shan, which means “Big Hat Mountain,” is a 3,140-feet extinct volcano. Its summit is the coldest place in the area—with temperatures reaching near zero—and is one of the few places to see frost in Hong Kong during winter. For beginners, traverse through Tai Mo Shan Hiking Practice Trail—a one kilometer route passing through scenic woodlands and even a barbecue area. It takes about 30 minutes to walk the trail which has several test facilities that teach hiking and basic safety principles. The Maclehose Trail (Stage 8)—a 10 kilometer hike that starts at Lead Mine Pass and ends at Route Twisk—is for more experienced hikers to get a thrill out of. Enjoy the scenic view and take beautiful photos of the Kowloon Reservoirs, Tsuen Wan Skyline, and the Hong Kong Observatory located at the top.

We've been planning to go skating since March this year but we kept putting it off because of our schedule. After this sem, I'll make sure that I get to try skating.
Tai Long Campsite
Bring the whole family on a camping trip at Tai Long Campsite! The area is perfect for everyone, including your prized pets! The location requires either a hike or a boat ride to reach, so make sure your doggy is in shape for a trek or a bit of a splash. When you get there, there are water outlets and restaurants that will cater to their needs. If they are too excitable, however, this might not be for you. Since there can be other dogs there, sometimes wild ones, it is best to take precautions.
SM Skating Rink
When I feel the need to relive my childhood as a competing figure skater, there’s nowhere else to go but here (because other skating rinks are just so damn far). I can’t do jumps and spins anymore, but I can still get a proper workout when I can splurge the ₱450 fee for a whole day of ice time.
