Duration:
(8 kilometers)
2 hours
Difficulty: 3/10. Flat all the way but for steps on the last 500m
Cel phone coverage: Everywhere
Water needs: 1 liter
Appreciation: 5/10. Pretty much walking by water catchment all along. Some occasional nice views. Beaches but not the most attractive ones. I don't think I will return to this one.

---------------------------------------
|
Take Bus 14 right off Exit 'A' at Sai Wan Ho MTR station. Get off at Tai Tam Reservoir (North) stop. Then retrace your steps for about 100 meters. Be careful, there's no sidewalks for the last 25 meters. |
|
Take the path going down on the right. You will see the trail map on the other side of the road |
|
Then quite trivial; just follow the water catchment pretty much all the way... |
|
6.5km in, you'll see this intersection, if you go to the right, you'll arrive at a little beach. Nothing much to see there but if you feel like it... HK Trail Section 7 continues on the left... |
|
At To Tei Wan. Not the best of beaches (quite a lot of pebbles) |
|
Once done beaching, just continue up the stairs to the road. Only 500m to go but all stairs |
|
You'll get to the road. Bus #9 on your side of the road will get you back to the MTR |
