Duration:
(~5 kilometers)
2.5 hours
Difficulty: 3/10. Easiest stream trek. Ignore the post stream-trek part of the trek as you could easily get lost and it is not all that pleasant; just retrace your steps.
Cel phone coverage: Mostly everywhere
Water needs: 1 liter
Appreciation: 5/10. It is not a great stream but it is a very easy one. If you have not done stream-trekking before and you want to try, that one is a good choice.
Transportation: North Point MTR exit B1, return the same way.
Why it's worth it:
---------------------------------------
 |
| Right out of the NorthPoint MTR station exit B1, head left |
 |
| Go up the stairs towards 'Aroma Walk' |
 |
| A few flight of stairs, nothing to kill anyone |
 |
| At the top of the stairs, take a left |
 |
| 5 minutes in, you'll get here, head up! |
 |
| Left |
 |
| Flight of stairs at the end of the alley. Afterwards, pretty much just keep following the path... |
 |
| ... until you reach those stairs on the left. Take them, then immediately left at the top |
 |
| Keep going until the bridge and the Tai Tam Country Park sign. You have arrived at the stream's entrance |
 |
| Go in |
 |
| Quite easy |
 |
This is probably the hardest part, which is much easier than it looks on the picture.
You can also bypass it on the right |
 |
| The stream is about 1 km long. You'll reach a point where it is all flat and a few paths lead different ways. I suggest you just retrace your steps (you can take the path back down, along the stream). Easy enough? Now, you're ready for longer, slightly harder but nicer streams! |
