Route Overview
Tai Au Mun → Clear Water Bay Equestrian Centre → Green Egg Island Path → Green Egg Island
【Start】 Kick things off at Tai Au Mun. Your journey begins with a walk along Clear Water Bay Road — this section is relatively flat and serves as the perfect 『warm-up』 for the trek ahead. Soon, you’ll reach the Clear Water Bay Equestrian Centre, one of the few horse-riding training facilities in Hong Kong. If you’re lucky, you’ll see students out on the field practicing their riding skills. Once you leave the equestrian center behind, the real adventure begins as you enter the Green Egg Island Path. This path is rugged and requires a bit of scrambling and technical footwork. As you navigate the trail, you’ll be treated to stunning coastal views of Clear Water Bay that are sure to clear your mind. The trail is surrounded by dense greenery, and the occasional bird song adds a peaceful 『soundtrack』 to your hike.
【Finish】 Keep pushing forward until you reach Green Egg Island. The water here is 『crystal clear』 — arguably some of the best in Hong Kong — making it a prime spot to relax and soak up the sun. Whether you’re into snorkeling, swimming, or just having a simple picnic, it’s a fantastic place to enjoy the tranquility of nature. After a well-deserved 『breather』 at Green Egg Island, you can retrace your steps along the same path to return to Tai Au Mun for your trip home.
