Hi Kenneth:
That’s a fair distance to cover with camping gear, I think – tho someone like Charlie may advise on this.
Maybe take it easier for an early outing in HK – could camp at Ngong Ping, west of Ma On Shan.
Not sure trails will be so quiet over CNY.
There are great maps in Countryside Series from hk govt – Central Post Office among places to try for these; if not, Murray Building near lower Peak Tram stn, or some bookshops.
Hope this helps.
Martin
Oh – and, of course, my hiking guide Hong Kong Pathfinder could be a boon during your stay
