In this post, I\u2019ll introduce the four long-distance hiking routes known as Hong Kong\u2019s \u201cBig Four Trails.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">While experienced hikers and runners often complete these trails in one go, beginners can also take them on section by section.

In total, it stretches 50km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Compared to the other long trails, both the distance and elevation gain are relatively moderate, making it a great first long trail to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Another advantage is accessibility\u2014since the trail intersects with major roads at several points, you can easily stop whenever you feel like you\u2019ve had enough for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s divided into 8 sections, so you can take it on one section at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure
