Comment: "Final rendering: 徒步旅行 Discussion: With the exception of Wenjer's entry which I found totally inappropriate for Hong Kong I found all of the entries interest, if not entirely worthy. 遠足: Although understandable and even applicable to what I have in mind, I have never heard this term in the context of hiking, Moreover, viewing the characters suggests that the word "trek" might make for a better translation. 踏春: This rendering, although very understandable, is season-specific and thus temporally limited despite its obviously more colorful motif.This is also a very Japanese-like word that I find particularly attractive. 徒步旅行: This word is very fitting for Hong Kongers who, like Germans, are very fond of travel and very familiar with the word 徒步. It also appears to be season-nonspecific, emphasizes the use of one's legs, and can be applied to any geographical terrain. Acknowledgement: My thanks to redred, Wilman, and Wenjer, and, of course jyuan_us. Simply I cannot agree with the reason that he has supplied. There are NO mountains in Hong Kong -- only hills that bear the names of their larger geographical landmates! Best wishes from 新金山."
