The outdoor sport of canyoning – known as canyoneering in the US – in which people navigate their way down steep and narrow canyons, is fast becoming a popular activity in Hong Kong.
Enthusiasts use several methods including stream trekking, swimming, sliding down rock faces, abseiling, and free jumping to make their way down otherwise inaccessible river systems.
