Locals, expats, and tourists alike know Hong Kong for its pineapple buns and for its stellar hiking trails. One lesser known Hong Kong attraction, however, is Pineapple Mountain—aptly coined the “Mini Grand Canyon” of Hong Kong.&nbsp; Located at the end of West Rail line in Tuen Mun, Pineapple Mountain is differentiated from Hong Kong’s more well-known hiking locales—which are notably luscious and green—due to its dry terrain and rocky layers. This miniature canyon is a unique experience among Hong Kong night hikes (and accessible for hikers of all skill levels!), making it a must-visit venue to take that picture-perfect Instagram snap before peering across the canyon and taking in its dreamy starry skies.

Almost <a href="https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/hong-kong-disneyland-to-suspend-nightly-fireworks-show-next-year-9449204">one year since suspending their majestic firework show</a>, Disney is returning with their spectacular pyrotechnic display this January. Wondering how you can get yourself a private viewing of the romantic show? Don’t sweat! It’s easier than it sounds, we promise. After wrapping up a busy day at the office, just hop on a ferry (departing from Pier 6 inCentral) to Hong Kong’s quaint island of Peng Chau, and head north to the edge of the island to the end of Peng Chau Family Trail where you&#8217;ll find Fisherman’s Rock. Get settled in before the show begins at 7PM, and gaze across the water to enjoy the illuminated light show.

For those seeking night time thrills outside of Lan Kwai Fong’s entertainment lounges and clubs, Kowloon’s tallest peak – Suicide Cliff – is sure to impress. Note: This challenging trail is no easy feat even for the most experienced of hikers, so be sure to wear trainers with firm grips, pack a flashlight, and of course, bring plenty of water. Once you reach the peak of this more challenging of night hikes, you&#8217;ll be treated to an incredibly 360-degree view of Hong Kong, which many describe as &#8220;to die for.&#8221;

Traversing the innocuously-named Twins on the south side of Hong Kong Island is one of those night hikes that is sure to make anyone work up a sweat, but it&#8217;s well worth the exertion. Under the moonlight, you will probably be too preoccupied with the stunning views of Repulse Bay&nbsp;to notice anything else, much less anyone’s sweaty brow. Challengers should prepare to brave a rather daunting 1,000 step staircase, but staying motivated is an easy task when promised a full view over the peninsula of Stanley.
Where: Repulse Bay, Hong Kong Island 
Duration: 2-3 hours 
Difficulty: 8.5/10

A classic, and rightly so, The Peak is the ultimate of night hikes in Hong Kong. Residents can escape their urban dwellings in the city below and depart into the jungle. There is much to appreciate along the way to The Peak proper – a rich assortment of wildlife, less congested trails compared to peak daylight hours, and only the stars (and the occasional lamp) to light the way until you reach the top.

Duration: 2 hours
