With over 7.5 million residents of various nationalities in a 1,104-square-kilometre (426 sq mi) territory, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places in the world. Hong Kong has proudly set aside 40% of land for country parks and nature reserves. As such hiking is a popular activity attracting many tourists from all over the world. This route starts at sea level and goes to the top of each of the 10 highest peaks in Hong Kong. The choice of route is your own, and you may visit the peaks in any order. Time begins at sea level, and ends at the summit of the final peak. You must do the entire distance on foot, EXCEPT the Tsing Ma Bridge, on which pedestrians are not allowed. For that section you may take public transportation or drive between the Sunny Bay and Tsing Yi MTR stations. The FKT includes the time required to get across the bridge, whether by car or by public transportation.
