Project Background

In the 2022 Policy Address, the Chief Executive announced that the Government will develop a “Round-the-Island Trail” (the Trail) of about 60 kilometres on Hong Kong Island by connecting the waterfront promenades on the northern shore and a number of existing promenades and countryside walking trails in the Southern District. The Government had been implementing the project in phases since 2023, with an aim of connecting 90% of the Trail by end-2027 and substantially completing the remaining works by end-2031.

The Invigorating Island South Office (IISO) of the Development Bureau (DEVB) and the Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) are the policy bureau and works agent respectively for taking forward the Project.

The indicative alignment of the Trail to be studied is shown above.
