Wilson Trail, Hiking trail in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China
The Wilson Trail extends 78 kilometers through Hong Kong, crossing eight country parks from Stanley in the south to Nam Chung in the northeastern New Territories.
The trail, established in 1996, honors Sir David Wilson, the 27th Governor of Hong Kong, who regularly explored the territory's natural landscapes during his tenure.
The path connects urban and rural areas of Hong Kong, passing through eastern Hong Kong Island, eastern Kowloon, and Tai Po, showcasing the region's geographical diversity.
The trail divides into ten sections, with elevation changes of 6300 meters uphill and 6400 meters downhill, requiring different fitness levels for each segment.
The Wilson Trail forms a north-south axis across Hong Kong, intersecting with the MacLehose Trail to create a cross-shaped pattern that divides the territory.

Hong Kong contains multiple observation points that reveal the urban landscape. From Victoria Peak at 552 meters to sea-level perspectives along Victoria Harbour, each location presents different angles of the city. Mountain summits, building observatories, and coastal paths allow visitors to see the dense architecture, surrounding waters, and natural terrain. The network includes historic structures like the 1847 Man Mo Temple and modern facilities such as the Sky100 deck at 393 meters elevation.
