Some say walking around the hilly campus is just like hiking. CUHK members may think they have been to most parts of the campus, but there are in fact secret corners that rarely see visitors. This year, with the special assistance of the Estates Management Office and the Security Office, five hiking locations were selected—the New Asia College Water Tower, the United College Water Tower, the Fok Ying Tung Remote Sensing Science Building, the Satellite Remote Sensing Ground Receiving Station, and the Vice-Chancellor’s Lodge. This gave hikers a chance to view the beautiful campus from a different angle, not to mention the two water towers were opened for public viewing for the first time since they were built.

The organizers recalled that they worried about not having sufficient manpower for crowd control, but their worries dissipated when over a hundred students volunteered to help after the recruitment notice was posted on Facebook. The student helpers did not get paid but they took time to attend the preparation session. Some made many trips between the Vice-Chancellor’s Lodge and the campus, but without a word of complaint.
