Kowloon Walled City (aka City of Darkness) was a densely populated, ungoverned enclave in Hong Kong, known for its high-rise, interconnected buildings, and "three-not" status (not managed by British, Chinese, or local authorities). Built as a Qing fort, it became a lawless, chaotic metropolis of 50,000 residents on only 6.4 acres before its demolition in 1993, now transformed into Kowloon Walled City Park.

We'll explore the park and the movie exhibition, which is dedicated to the Best Picture movie "Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In". This film reunited Hong Kong film professionals, as the complete movie sets were built and shot in Hong Kong.

Once we are done we'll find a local restaurant for dinner.

Meeting Point: 3pm Kam Sheung Road MTR, Exit C Note: This hike is on a Saturday!

We'll take the Cotai Water Jet to Taipa, Macau (about 1 hour). The hike begins at the Cotai Ferry Terminal. We will board a bus for Borboletes and then walk towards Coloane Village. We'll proceed along a tree-lined bike path, past a prison and arriving at a rustic cafe for coffee and toasted buns. Carrying on, we will pass some historic shipyards, the old Coloane Pier and the old village. If anyone wants to buy egg tarts, they will have to leave the hike at this point because we will not wait.

We'll walk through the back streets of Coloane village, arriving at the Tin Hau temple at the end of the Praia. From there we will climb the small hill and follow the quiet coastal road past cemeteries, and seaside houses, dropping down a long stairway to Cheoc Van beach. Eventually we will arrive at the Long Chao Kok Coastal Trail that rounds the peninsula that protects Hac Sa Beach. We will finish the day with early dinner at Fernando's Restaurant. The hike will take between 3 and 4 hours depending on the weather (heat) and how many stops we make.

Recommendations: Eat something for breakfast. We will have a snack around 1pm and then early dinner. We'll be walking mostly on pavement, some sand and rocky trails so walking sandals or light sneakers are fine. Bring sun protection including an umbrella for sun or showers.

Buy your ferry tickets in advance for the 10:30am ferry, returning at 9pm. Also bring your passport and/or ID card and money for the ferry (if applicable). You can get 15% off for 2 adult tickets on Klook (pricing may be updated, so check their app).
