Discovering Hong Kong Through Its Peaks
Discovering Hong Kong Through Its Peaks
Hong Kong, often synonymous with skyscrapers and urban hustle, actually hides natural treasures at the top of its hills. For hiking enthusiasts and those seeking impressive panoramas, the challenge offered by PeakMaster presents a unique opportunity to discover the territory’s summits while taking on a personal challenge. This system, created by Jérôme Pérocheau and continuously enriched with the help of Romain Démare, tracks all the summits you have visited, the routes taken, and the frequency of your visits, providing an enriching and motivating experience.
A Journey to the Summit
The diversity of landscapes in Hong Kong is stunning. Well-marked trails and more adventurous paths lead to peaks offering breathtaking views of the surrounding islands and the South China Sea. By signing up for the PeakMaster challenge, you’ll have the chance to explore not only popular summits like Victoria Peak, Tai Mo Shan, or Lantau Peak but also more isolated and less frequented areas, such as Devil’s Peak or Stenhouse Mountain.
A Motivating and Engaging System
One of the main advantages of the PeakMaster system is its ability to record your progress. You can track your climbs, plan your next hikes, and even set personal goals. This tracking not only helps maintain motivation but also encourages hikers to explore new routes and step off the beaten path. By visiting lesser-known summits, you’ll discover breathtaking landscapes and preserved natural spots.
