Start at the entrance of Pak Lap, a peaceful village famous for its vibrant 『Rainbow Houses』 and traditional farmland. After passing the local store and the historic Pak Lap Old Village Ruins, begin your ascent up Pak Fu Shan. Though a 『hidden gem』, the climb up Pak Fu Shan rewards you with 360 panoramic views of the Sai Kung coastline. Descend toward the crystal-clear waters and white sands of Pak Lap Wan, often called the 『Maldives of Hong Kong』. Finally, loop back to the village to finish your journey.

Route Overview
Pak Lap Village → Pak Lap Old Village Ruins → Pak Fu Shan → Pak Lap Wan → Pak Lap Village
【Start】 Take a taxi from Sai Kung Town and get off at the Pak Lap Village Entrance, then follow the village path downward. As you enter the village, you’ll be greeted by a lush green meadow. Continue along the small path for a short distance, and you’ll see the Rainbow Houses on your right. After grabbing some 『check-in』 photos at the houses, keep following the path to reach the Pak Lap Store.
【Finish】 After leaving the store, backtrack toward the Rainbow Houses. Take the small trail in front of the houses, which leads to the hiking entrance. Once you transition onto the mountain path, you’ll see your destination, Pak Fu Shan, straight ahead. Follow the trail as it descends from the slope into the valley to find the Pak Lap Old Village Ruins. This area is a popular camping “hotspot,” so you’ll likely see plenty of tents. Finally, tackle the steep uphill scramble to reach the summit of Pak Fu Shan.
