Duration: 6.5 kilometers (4 hours)
Difficulty: 8/10. 711m elevation gain. There's scrambling so if you are afraid of heights, not a good one for you! While it is technically easier than West Dog Teeth, I rate it the same because the path is more sandy and therefore more slippery which, to me, makes it more treacherous.
Cel phone coverage: Everywhere
Water needs: 1.5 liter. 10% shaded.
Transportation: MTR to Tung Chung, then bus #11 or #23 (gets quite busy on weekends). Or ferry to Mui Wo, then bus #1 or #2. Get off at "Shek Pik Police Station" (Police stand. Right before the dam. Or, next one right after the dam if you missed it. There are toilets right after the dam)
Return via various buses at Big Buddha or via cable car to Tung Chung.

---------------------------------------
Get off at "Shek Pik Police Station" (police stand). That's the stop right before the Shek Pik reservoir. |
From the stop, retrace your step in the direction the bus came from (so, opposite the dam). There's a sidewalk all the way on the left. |
After about 500m, you'll arrive at the Country Park entrance. Go past the barrier and keep walking towards the first bridge, about 100m away |
Take the bridge and just follow the path. There's no really any other way but for the well delimited path |
