REVITALISE MIND, BODY AND SOUL IN HONG KONG THIS AUTUMN



KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 (Bernama) -- Cosy weather combines with Hong Kong’s majestic natural landscape offered all manner of ways to rejuvenate the mind, body and soul during the autumn season.


The city is inviting tourists to embark on a revitalising journey where they can enhance their physical and mental wellbeing while uncovering the hidden gems of this world-class wellness paradise.


Taking place on Oct 13, the 2024 Sun Hung Kai Properties Hong Kong Cyclothon, Hong Kong’s largest cycling event and carnival, promises new excitement which will feature 6,000 global cyclists race for glory, backdropped by the city’s incredible natural and man-made scenery.


According to the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) in a statement, this year’s edition will be bigger and better than ever, with new elements including enhanced routes through four tunnels and three bridges that take in incredible views of Hong Kong’s natural landscape and the spectacular Victoria Harbour.


Meanwhile, in November, the TransLantau by UTMB invites long-distance runners of all experience levels to explore the rugged landscapes and untamed beauty of Lantau Island, Hong Kong’s largest island, presenting four races of varying levels of difficulty.


Adding to the excitement, as the largest hiking fundraising event in Hong Kong, Oxfam Trailwalker promises adventure seekers an extraordinary journey up the city’s tallest peak, Tai Mo Shan, providing spectacular views of the city’s singular juxtaposition of natural and urban landscape from 957 metres high.


Besides sports activities, Hong Kong is also home to a number of world-class day spas, perfect for an afternoon of pampered relaxation, as well as a diverse natural ecosystem within easy access of urban centres for those looking to take a beat away from the hustle and bustle of the city, achieve mental relaxation and alleviate stress.


There are many therapeutic ways to experience Hong Kong’s rich green landscape, including forest bathing (Shinrin-yoku) and hiking on one of its myriad trails, which offer the opportunity to slow down the pace of the everyday and be immersed in nature.


For individuals or couples seeking pampering and wellness experiences, they can take a break at a five-star urban spa retreat where sky-high views await on the 116th floor of the International Commerce Centre at The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Hong Kong. The top-tier spa boasts floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong skyline, creating the perfect backdrop.
