Cheung Chau is an island renowned for its delicious food and captivating scenery, frequented by locals who appreciate its charm. While exploring the bustling streets is one way to experience this enchanting island, hiking is another exceptional option.

As the Chinese saying goes, "You are not a real man without visiting the Great Wall." While the Great Wall of China is situated in Beijing, Cheung Chau offers its own version - the "Little Great Wall." Although not as grand as the original, this trail boasts breathtaking seascapes that make it well worth a visit.

The 4km trail is easy and suitable for all ages, taking approximately 1 hour to complete. Be sure to bring enough snacks and water, as there are no convenience stores along the route.

Getting to the Starting Point

To begin, disembark from the ferry and turn left onto Tung Wan Road. Follow the road to the beach, then turn right and continue past a helipad and Kwun Yam Beach. Follow the path uphill, passing a temple in the woods, until you reach a fork in the road.

The Little Great Wall

This fork marks the starting point of the Little Great Wall. Turn left to embark on your journey clockwise, as the right path is steep and challenging.

As you climb the steps, admire the stunning sea views and the 16 unique rock formations along the way. Each rock is large and has a distinctive name, such as Human Head Rock, Fa Peng (meaning flower vase), and Loaf Rock. Additionally, several pavilions provide rest stops for hikers.

Upon reaching the House of Prayer, turn right onto Ming Fai Road. Continuing along this route, you'll pass by The Salvation Army Bradbury Camp, where a downhill road will guide you back to the beach.
