Contrary to how it looks in the video, Ryan and I did actually talk to each other during this hike haha. Check out his video about the hike - ruclips.net/video/U5ZRkMR7ucQ/видео.html
You shoukd take a trekking trail at Tiger Leaping Gorge Trail in Yunnan, China and another one is trekking to Yubeng Village at Meili Snow Moutain in Shangrila
Once in certain parts of the trail it’s just like anywhere else in the world on a trail. Great hills trees and trails. Didn’t have the shops and toilets when I lived there though. Glad it’s still well used. This is on what’s called The New Territories side. Even on Hong Kong Island there are beaches.
@@haroldlauhoyanguess one of the calculations said 80% n what should stuned the world more is most of these rippling areas were banned by law for property development
Fun fact: this year is the 40th anniversary of the MacLehose trails, named after the governor, Murray MacLehose. It is a 100 kilometer-long country park hiking trail, divided into 10 sections. If you're still around. I recommend the Lantau coastal trail
As someone from HK, you are the only one I know that completed most of the trail, and with a cinematic vlog. Big fan from the wedding film school time, awesome work.
Drone always makes everything becoming interesting. MacLehose Trail is definitely an integral part in Hong Kong.People nowadays tend to finish it with a form of trail running, which means completing all sections of Mac-Trail within around 11-15 hours. However, walking slowly and camping around after all are never wrong. This traditional hiking format even is the best way to enjoy every single details of this trail.
nearshek bruh don’t speak like 11-15 hours is what people normally do. 11 hours is the record time of Oxfam Super Trailwalker by Team Columbia. There’s literally only a handful of people capable of doing that.
That is the Hong Kong Trail for the "11-15hr trail running" hes talking about. There are three main trails in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Trail ~50km, the Maclehose ~100km, and the Wilson ~78km. Maclehose would most certainly need at least two nights of camping.
These are wonderful videos. What a treat to hear only muted conversations and a blend of authentic background sounds and local voices. So well done. Thanks.
So many people don't realise how much outdoor space (beaches, islands, hiking trails) there are in Hong Kong! I myself only fully realised when I moved here. One of my favourite hikes (possibly anywhere in the world) is around Ma On Shan, which is somewhat (there are some gorgeous/fun offtrail sections) part of this MacLehose Trail (Stage 4). And the Tai Long Wan beaches around the first stages at 1:09 makes you double check if you're really still in HK! ❤ Oh, Hong Kong 😍 Beautifully done as always.
One thing I truly admire about your videos is that I never get bored. I find myself sitting for 20+ minutes always wanting more & always staying captivated by the storytelling - not many people get that right especially with minimal dialogue. Well done!
Beautiful video! So glad to see Hong Kong's trails getting some exposure. There's a great hiking and trail running culture here and it's a very unique experience. It also keeps this Canadian sane in the concrete jungle. Glad you enjoyed it!
honestly, it's really being grateful to see Vietsub in your video, I'm not good at English and some Vietnamese who's watching your video also. your videos make me have more strong to discover the world, thank you and hope you get safe on every trail you go
wow man I'm a Hong Konger and coincidentally I have just done the full MacLehose Trail last week as well in 4 days. I hope you have enjoyed our city's unique scenery of hills and highrises combined, especially the night!
Thank you, Kraig!! These videos are amazing and I'm going thru them one by one... These videos, without a doubt, have helped me stay calm and hopeful during these trying times... You're travels to other worlds might help some folks understand people and places more... When I watch and listen to your creations, I can't help but think peace and harmony... Thanks for stepping out and making a difference.. Kelly from Kentucky
I have been putting off doing this trail for a very long time. After watching this video, I realized how much I have been missing. Thanks for the video!
was about to watch this at work, but I almost forgot how epic your videos are, and within the first 40 seconds I am now pausing until I get home and can watch it on my big screen with surround sound. always such a pleasure to watch, can't wait!
Kraig just wanted to say thanks because your videos have made me go outside a lot more often. I found out that there's a state park 10 minutes from my house (it's nothing super special) but getting outside after a long day of staring at a laptop screen editing has been so helpful to my overall well-being. Thanks again!!
Kraig you are absolutely my favorite travel channel you make everything so peaceful and beautiful. Thank you for inspiring me to want to go to many of these places. You're the best.
Kraig, I look forward to your videos. Sometimes I watch them thinking I would like to do that hike. Others, I watch and think, "now I've experienced it through Kraig's lens and don't need to go". I enjoy the way you keep dialogue to a minimum, but you highlight the ambient sounds so that the viewer gets a real sense of place. I also appreciate how you don't colour grade or boost saturation in such a way as to make it more visually appealing though less real to the actual experience. You are doing what I hope to do someday...filming long hikes and sharing the joy of exploring the world on foot. Keep it up, brother.
You really do the best hiking videos on RUclips, every single time! And I do have a suggestion for your future hikes, it's Slovenian Mountain Trail, which is one of the oldest established hiking tracks in Europe. The hike takes you through all Slovenian Alps, all the way to the Adriatic sea and it's absolutely gorgeous.
You can tell Kraig definitely drink more water this time than Kilimanjaro. We call this experience that makes you stronger. Great job Kraig, awesome hike.
Welcome to Hong Kong. Watching your slow and quiet trail walking video has been such a relaxing and getaway thing to do for me. Please keep them coming. Cheers.
Greetings from Hong Kong! I'm so glad you enjoy your hike in Hong Kong Thanks for bringing serenity in your video especially in the current situation of social unrest politically and fear of a coronavirus outbreak 2:00 is the best shot I like in the video. Love the landscape of Hong Kong rising from afar. Also happy to see you are recovering from the altitude sickness and successfully walk the MacLehose Trail. In the beginning of the video I was curious why there were no people in any of the shots. The trails are usually packed with many people, especially in the weekends! And later I see (hear) people around :D Haha finally break the silence! lol Please forgive us laughing and talking loud they are just happy hikers :D
Greetings from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 have been enjoying your videos for so long and cant believe you would come to HK! hope you enjoyed the time here and love your videos!
Love your video always and I am very surprised and happy to know you had hike behind my house!! (Below Lion Rock). Welcome to Hong Kong. Lantau Trail and Wilson Trail, Hong Kong Trail together with Mac are the 4 major hiking trails in HK.
I really appreciate the style of your videos. I always feel like I get a sense of what its like being there with you on the trail. Makes me want to get out there. Thanks for sharing!
This is beautiful! I've been watching you channel for a few months here and there, can't believe that you did this trail and I didn't see it until now!! I'm from HK and your video has inspired me to explore more of MacLehose.
Hong Kong for most of us is a visual metropolis of way to much! Yet there is this whole other area...Great experience! Great visual perspective! Thank you!
There used to be an annual event called Trailwalker during which a few thousand people in teams of 4 had 48 hours to cover the Maclehose Trail. Gurkha teams would run the whole way and complete it in 13-14 hours. I did it twice in consecutive years in 1992 and 1993. My team’s aim was to beat 24 hours. The only reason I did it twice was our 26 hour attempt in 1992!
I lived 2 years in this beautiful city and thanks to your video you made me plan my next trip there and do this hike again. Appreciated so much how peaceful you make it feel! Thank you Kraig, and hope you'll enjoy Hong Kong and hiking there again very soon! :)
Wonderful. So well organised even shops and toilets around the trail now. I did trailwalker 1988 time 38:50 mins and 1990 time 32:07. With lots of walks and training in between with a load of water we had to carry. Can’t wait for the Lantau Island. So many fantastic memories.
I can barely hike 6 miles ... let alone 60. This is so very cool, Craig. And super cinematic! Love your hiking series! Btw, I'm glad you have a hiking friend. Solo hikes can be tough.
Welcome to HK, really enjoy watching your hiking videos of trails around the world, thanks for showing the world the tranquil side of HK, keep up with the great work!
Haven't even watched this video yet or the Kilimanjaro one, but super excited to watch possibly both of them tonight with my family. We love these videos.
Absolutely stunning Kraig. Will you visit Japan again? I'd love to see this format of your video with you being back in cities, or not just hiking, but the same silent ASMR style vlog.
You remind me in late '70 when I was young in my home town trying to finished the trial in 2 days. There was no such crowded people and no such steps built.
Contrary to how it looks in the video, Ryan and I did actually talk to each other during this hike haha. Check out his video about the hike - ruclips.net/video/U5ZRkMR7ucQ/видео.html

If you got a chance, Taiwan is a place good for hiking too! :))

@@clovermark39 especially when he filmed the beach, I guess no one would've thought of HK at all
75% of hk is actually mountains!
Yes, Hong Kong isn't only the skyscape. Her trails and wide is amazing in a city, like California
@@haroldlauhoyanguess one of the calculations said 80% n what should stuned the world more is most of these rippling areas were banned by law for property development
never think of my hometown can be this attractive
I'm from New York and just want to say Hong Kong is one of my favorite cities in the world
Hong Konger too. When I first heard Kraig was going to do a hike in HK, I was so excited, haha.
u r welcome to join the massive community of local hikers
How can you not notice the countryside? Most of HKers just live next to a mountain
Yes, I only thought of tear gas and police

@K C Wong Hong Kong would be the best place to live if the Chinese Communist leave us alone.
@@li_tsz_fung Agreed completely.
@@jackckleung 唯一出路
@@li_tsz_fung You are time trapped. The main land is better management than many western countries. Without the support of China, HK has no economy.

我想明年旅行✈️在香港停留5天 do this through hike, 请问女生独自hike 此山径安全吗？
That shot at the 2 minute mark where the city is slowly revealed across the horizon from the trees is just epic! Pure class.
These kinds of videos of yours make me calm. It relieves my anxiety and depression. And for that I thank you.
And this made me realise i'm not alone in the struggle. Thankyou
This brought back so many memories. I went to college in Hong Kong, so many good hiking trails. Amazing cinematography as always!

I do like this editing style to these videos, no vlog, just relaxing sounds

I am so glad that you chose this method of storytelling! I need more of this in my life!!!
These videos will never get old, they are all so pleasing to watch. Thank you for sharing your travels with us all.
The images taken with the drone are magnificent! It makes you want to spend your whole life traveling.
i love doing hiking during my off work its feel amazing to hear sound of the birds and whisper the fresh air in your ear with good weather its amazing
What I love about your videos is that they really capture what it feels like to hike.

Nostalgia hits me. Living 2 yrs of my childhood in HK the trails seemed all so familiar. Thanks Kraig for this meditative video.

I could watch your videos all day long. Super immersive and relaxing at the same time. Once again, well done Kraig.
I enjoyed the silence of your video, and let nature and visual take over.
These videos are really something else.
Perfect for this chilly Sunday
Absolutely breathtaking! Thank you for showing the world how beautiful Hong Kong really is!
Love your silent videos that solely focuses on the beauty of your surroundings!! If you keep making them then you've got a watcher for life!

That shot of the misty monochrome trees was stunning!!! .. Amazing walk.

THanks Kraig from bring such a beautiful landscape record to people all over the place. Greetings from Hong Kong!
Up early with my baby and saw you posted another beautiful video. These are seriously so good, I could watch them all day.
You have an enviable life my friend! Glad you get to enjoy this beautiful planet from a vantage point most will never see.
This is breathtaking. You're an artist. Amazing work.

Welcome to HK!!! Hope you enjoyed here and thanks for making this amazing video about another side of HK!
