Hong Kong winter colours

Sweet Gum Woods in Tai Lam Country Park,
in the northwest New Territories of Hong Kong.
 

I lived years in the centre of Hong Kong before I became aware of the beautiful country parks around us. I’ve now hiked most of them, and done all of the most famous, like the 100km McLehose Trail, the Hong Kong Trail, the Wilson Trail and the Lantau Trail. They are some of the most beautiful in Asia and now the magnet for all sorts of trail racing for folks around the world. At this time of year, with temperatures maxing around 22C they’re perfect walking trails
