“HIKE YOUR WAY TO CLOSER BUSINESS RELATION”
Hiking in the forest can be an exciting and exhilarating undertaking providing a peaceful and enjoyable connection with nature as well as family, friends, neighbors, businessmen, and communities. Most importantly, hiking benefits our health. It personally gets a reward when you successfully complete an outing of several miles.
Wan Chai Gap – Aberdeen Reservoirs Route
The Southern District on Hong Kong Island offers splendid natural scenery, especially the areas in the vicinity of Aberdeen Upper and Lower Reservoirs. Meandering between the two reservoirs is Lady Clementi’s Ride, which was an important military post during the Second World War. Follow the catchwater and the footpath on the hillside, walk past the reservoirs and proceed to Reel Rise along the footpath. The route passes by a cemetery and ends at Yue Kwong Chuen, Aberdeen. Parts of the route are slightly rugged.
