After an adrenaline-filled Sunday last week, we decided to pick a weekend activity today that’s a lot safer for everyone — a coastal walk in Hong Kong island.

Following the app TrailWatch, which my girlfriends and Mahjong buddies introduced (after I shared our crazy weekend story) — we discovered and enjoyed Hong Kong’s picturesque harbour.

We started our walk from Central Pier 2 with Wan Chai as a destination.

There were a lot of interesting finds on the path. My favorite was these miniature displays that literally share the pain and joy of living in a shoebox in the city.

And also loads of picture perfect spots!

Lukey’s favorite was of course the moment he had with a kind fisherman who lent him his fishing rod. Then another fisherman caught a puffer fish which Lukey held and threw back into the water. That made him so happy that he pestered us almost the entire afternoon walk to get a pufferfish! Oh, Aya said the pufferfish moment was her favorite too — even though she just watched it while hhshe was having her “moment”.

We continued our walk to Wan Chai harbour, which surprised us with more playgrounds and chilling areas. Last May 2021 (when we did our Amazing Race – Low Season), this area was still blocked off.

Since we still have time before our booked dinner, we continued walking to Causeway Bay area passing through the Royal Yatch Club of Hong Kong.

We ended our 4.6km walk at Tung Lo Wan Fire Station. But we’ll be back next week to continue our coastal walk of Hong Kong Island. We’ll try to also join this Coastal Trail Challenge.
