Ham Tin Wan

Ham Tin Wan (Salted Field Bay)

My favourite hiking track in Hong Kong which takes you to the inaccessible (relatively) yet incredibly wonderful beaches in the metropolis. You simply cannot miss it. Once again, Hong Kong is much more than a concrete jungle.

Tai Long Sai Wan - Ham Tin Wan - Tai Long Au - Chek Keng - Wong Shek Pier (3 hrs)

Catch the 29R coach outside the Sai Kung McDonald's. Follow a concrete path to descend to Tai Long Sai Wan. Besides the beach, you will be greeted by a couple of kiosks which supply simple food and drinks. What's more: information. Climb up a little bit towards the north then down for another beach: Ham Tin. For another exercise you heads over to Tai Long Au (around 100 meters) then down to Chek Keng, where you may choose to catch a kaito (a sort of primitive boat) for Wong Shek Pier. Experienced hikers can stick to the uphill path and reach Pak Tam Au in 45 minutes. Catch the No. 94 bus for Sai Kung center at either Wong Shek Pier or Pak Tam Au.

Hung Shek Mun

Hung Shek Mun (Red Stone Gate)

A very treacheous walk on a heavily overgrown path. Marvelous natural red stones which are rarely found in Hong Kong.

Wu Kau Teng > Sheung Miu Tin > Ha Miu TIn > Ma Liu Ho > Hung Shek Mun > Wang Leng > Ha Miu TIn > Wu Kau Teng

The round-trip starts from Wu Kau Teng, a little farming village with a couple of houses. A muddy track in nice condition will lead you to Sheung Miu Tin and Ha Miu TIn. At the junction marked by a few wooden posts, turn to the right and choose the 'lower track'. After the juction to Tai Tung, carefully look for a tiny path on your right marked by an offical danger sign  Stick to the path with ibbons and you will reach Hung Shek Mun. Take the other way to the small Hung Shek Mun Reservouir and you go up to Wang Leng. Break away from the Plover Cove Country Trail to Ha Miu Tin then back to Wu Kau Teng.
