Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Kowloon à Sai Kung

Ready for a big day out? This cycling route whisks you from the energetic heart of Kowloon all the way to the laid-back coastal town of Sai Kung—a favorite local getaway spot for seafood and water activities. You’ll pedal just over 25 km, but it’s no walk in the park; expect over 1,650 meters of climbing and an equally thrilling descent, with the route peaking at about 566 meters above sea level.

The ride is a real adventure—over half the surface is “missing” from standard maps, which hints at some off-the-beaten-path sections. You’ll traverse a mix of paved roads and concrete cycle paths, with short stretches of ground and unpaved trails that add some spice (and maybe a little dust). Nearly 40% is on quiet roads or paths, making for scenic and mostly peaceful pedaling.

Starting in bustling Kowloon, you’ll soon escape the urban rush, passing through green pockets and soaring over hills before you roll into the pretty harborside town of Sai Kung. Bring some snacks, water, and maybe your camera—it’s a challenging ride that offers plenty of memorable views!
