Recommended Packing List
Footwear: Non-slip comfortable sports shoes or lightweight hiking shoes. The coastal trail features sandy, rocky, and often wet surfaces — leather shoes, high heels, and sandals are strictly prohibited.
Hiking Aids: Knee braces and lightweight trekking poles (essential for saving your knees on descents, well-suited for the undulating coastal trail).
Sun & Wind Protection: Coastal UV rays and sea breezes are extremely strong. A wide-brimmed sun hat, UV-protective outdoor jacket, and multifunctional neck gaiter are essential.
Layered Clothing: Quick-dry base layer + thin long-sleeve top + windproof jacket. Temperatures by the coast vary significantly between day and night — follow the "shed when hot, add when cold" layering principle.
Backpack: A lightweight, hands-free day backpack. Shoulder bags and handbags are not recommended.
Trail Snacks & Hydration: Lunch and dinner will be arranged independently in town. Bring a small supply of personal snacks and energy bars. Carry 1–1.5L of drinking water for the entire trip; electrolyte drinks are also recommended to help replenish energy.
Emergency Supplies: Compact raincoat, sunscreen spray, and tissues to cope with sudden gusts of wind or passing showers along the coast.

Ensure you get adequate sleep the night before departure, and be sure to eat breakfast before arriving at the meeting point.
Stay with the group and follow the driver-guide/leader's instructions at all times. Leaving the group without authorisation is strictly prohibited. If a temporary departure from the group is necessary, you must sign a disclaimer declaration and inform the tour leader.
Once the tour is confirmed, late cancellations made after 1:00 PM two days prior to departure are not eligible for a refund. A full refund can be arranged if you find a replacement participant.
While this route is categorised as a beginner-friendly light hike, it is not equivalent to a casual city stroll and requires a basic level of walking fitness. Please objectively assess your own physical condition before signing up.
During outdoor activities, the tour leader will do their utmost to supervise and assist throughout, but a nanny-style service cannot be provided. Participants are expected to prepare their own gear and supplies and look out for one another.
