---------------------------------------
The bus stop to Tai Tam is right off Sai Wan Ho MTR, Exit A. About 25 minutes ride. Ring the bell when you're on the Tai Tam dam (there's just one on the way). Stop right after the dam. |
Beginning of the trek is right across the bus stop. |
It starts with a nice and gentle paved hike. |
Head left right before the bridge. |
Then right and down. |
You'll go by this dam. There's a path going up on the other side of the walkway. |
About 20m into that path, it curves to the left. Take the offshoot path to the right and get into the stream. |
Lots of places to swim if you feel like it on a warm day. |
This first stream ends about 100m before the dam. There's a picnic area on the right on an elevated stone area. |
After a short break (maybe a snack). Head left on the path. |
Left after the dam's bridge |
Follow Wong Nai Chung Gap Road |
At this point, head right and down. You are going towards the second stream |
Don't enter the stream on the first waterfall on the left. The stream to enter is about 10-15 minutes walk further along the path. |
This is the end of the second stream. Go up the stairs and onto the road. |
You'll see the ParkView estate on your right. Walk towards it.
