Five city hikes
Kuala Lumpur’s Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve offers a distinctive trekking experience through a tropical rainforest in the city centre. The trail is relatively easy, with well-marked paths and informative signboards about the local flora and fauna, making it a great choice for families and nature enthusiasts.
Elephant Hill in Taipei offers a short (40-minute trek) but rewarding climb that is moderately challenging. The well-maintained trail provides stunning views of Taipei’s skyline, including the famous Taipei 101. It’s an ideal spot for those looking to enjoy a quick escape into nature without straying far from the city.
In Singapore, the Southern Ridges trail offers a moderate hike through interconnected parks and gardens. Spanning 10 km, this trail provides a lush green corridor amidst the urban environment, with highlights including the Henderson Waves bridge and panoramic city views.
Namsan in Seoul presents a slightly more challenging hike, leading to the N Seoul Tower. The trail is popular among locals and tourists alike, offering a mix of natural beauty and cultural landmarks. Depending on the desired difficulty level, several routes are available.
Finally, Hong Kong’s Dragon’s Back is a favourite for its breathtaking views of the coastline and the South China Sea. This moderately challenging hike is known for its undulating ridges and scenic vistas, providing a rewarding experience for those willing to tackle its ups and downs.
