Why it's worth it:
-----------------------------------
 |
| Tsuen Wan Exit A |
 |
| Go all the way to the end of the pedestrian walkway. You'll see the Tsuen King Circuit Sports Centre Building |
 |
| Get down the stairs, onto Mei Wan street. turn right onto Tsuen King Circuit |
 |
| Stay on the right-hand side of the road |
 |
| This is at about 25 minutes into the hike. You'll see stairs going down that you must take |
 |
| Right |
 |
| Right |
 |
| First right |
 |
| Right at the road |
 |
| Take the yellow bridge on the left |
 |
| At the village, it gets a bit more confusing, first left |
 |
| The right after the fence |
 |
| I sort of more of less lost the path around here. In any case, you want to get to that rock on top! |
 |
| Da rock! Nice view from up there. Once you are done, go in opposite direction (go West) and down the path |
 |
You'll reach a paved path. Go straight, following the Yuen Tsuen Ancient Path direction.
It is now a stone path |
 |
You'll eventually arrive at the Shek Lung Kung Pavilion.
Just after the pavilion, you will want to get off the stone path and follow the clearing on the left |
 |
| There's quite a wide area that is cleared so it is easy to follow. |
 |
| Down among the rocks |
 |
At one point, you'll see the clearing veering to the left and the bridge (pictured above) in the distance.
Just follow the clearing down. You will eventually reach a dirt path. Follow it all the way... |
 |
| ... to the road by the water catchment. Head left on the road. |
 |
| After about 800m on the road, you'll see stairs on your right with a sign indicating 'Yau Kom Tau Village'. Take the stairs |
 |
Take a right at the road at the bottom of the stairs (Po Fung Road).
It will get you to Castle Peak Road where you will take a left. |
 |
| Take a right on Lai Shun Road |
 |
| Then a left on Hoi On Road. You will be on the boardwalk all the way to Tsuan Wan West |
