Visitors to Hong Kong’s popular hiking routes must ensure their ecological value is maintained while also enjoying better facilities
The award-winning documentary Four Trails, which depicts a gruelling 298km (185-mile) ultra-running challenge along Hong Kong’s top hiking routes, has been a surprise box office hit.
The film showcases the city’s stunning scenery. This has not been lost on the government as it looks to develop a greater variety of tourist attractions to meet rising demand from visitors for “in-depth” experiences.
Among nine “hotspots” unveiled last month was “four peaks” tourism, inspired by the documentary, which will offer easy hiking routes along popular trails.
These areas of outstanding beauty are already a draw for visitors, mostly from the mainland, where they feature on social media. It makes sense to add them to the campaign.
