--------------------

The Pok Fu Lam Reservoir Road bus stop where you should get off the bus.

At the Pok Fu Lam Reservoir Road bus stop, just take Pok Fu Lam Reservoir Road  which is within 10 meters of the stop.

At the barrier, don't follow the road which goes around the reservoir. Instead, climb the stairs on the left. That's about the most strenuous this trail will get. Pretty much flat afterwards.

Shortly after the steps, you will reach a crossroad where the path you were on merges with the Hong Kong trail. Head left.

If you follow the Garmin map, you should have no trouble. At this spot, head left rather than following the steps towards The Peak.

You'll eventually get to Hatton road, which you will follow down  until it reaches Kotewall, the end of the trail. There will be bus stops right there at the junction of Hatton and Kotewall.
