I am talking from trails toward mountains and/or seashore of about 3-5 hours. Mountains: mainly hiking on the tops, scenic views. Seashore: rought and rocky.
I will have the time for only 2 or 3 of those hiking trails.

Mountains: Hong Kong Island South - Tai Tam Country Trail
Scenic Views - Wong Nai Cung Reservoir, Tai Tam Resevoir, Repulse Bay (from the mountain)
Bus Routes - No.6, 66, 61 from Central to Repulse Bay Road
Get off at the gas station beside Hong Kong Parkview right after the tennis courts. Walk up the stairs beside the gas station (Shell) and you will find the Tai Tam Reservoir Road. The entrance of the Tai Tam Country Park is next to the Hong Kong Parkview main entrance.
From this hiking trail you may walk all the way to Stanley and it takes about 6 hours. The park covers more than 1,500 hectares from Wong Nai Chung Gap in the west to Tai Tam Road in the east.
