Duration:
(21.9 kilometers) Between 5.5 and 6.5 hours depending on walking speed.
Difficulty: 4/10. Quite easy, long as there is not way to get back between sections 9 and 10.
Appreciation: 3/10. Boring, mostly paved. If you want full bragging rights for MacLehose, you gotta do it. If you want to experience the best of Hong Kong trails, that is not one of them.
Transportation: Get to the Twen Wan West MTR station. Exit D. Walk to the Nina Tower bus terminal (about 5 minutes). Take KMB bus 51 (http://hketransport.gov.hk). Stop at 郊野公園 COUNTRY PARK.
At the end of the trail, just follow my instructions to get to Tuen Mun MTR, about 500 meters from trail end.
Why it's worth it:
It really isn't compared to the other sections but here's an idea
---------------------
Exit 'D' at Tsuen Wan West. 5 minutes walk to Nina Tower bus terminus (the tallest building you see coming out of the MTR station) |
Take KMB 51 and stop at Country Park. Retrace your steps a little bit. The trail head as by the big 'Welcome to Yuen Long' sign. |

This is almost at the end. You may be tempted to use the shortcut on the left but that is not the end of MacLehose section 10. About 2 more clicks to go. |
That's the trail end. The Tuen Mun MTR station is on the road going straight in front of you (not the one perpendicular to you) |
