| Just off Island Resort, walk towards the harbor, then head right, between the sports courts and the water facilities. Then right after the sports courts |
 |
| There are toilets on your right at a distance, and stairs on the left. Take the stairs. |
 |
| After about 25minutes/1.5km, you will reach this point where there are stairs on the left, take them. Then head left at the top of all the stairs. |
 |
| After a couple of minutes' walk on Cape Collinson Road, you will see this building on your right. The path to the first battery is sloping up right after. Take it. |
 |
| The first battery/pillbox. Once you are done, retrace your step back to Cape Collinson, head right towards the correctional facility. |
 |
| Another 2 minutes on the road and you will see little stairs on the fence on the left. Easy to miss them however. Step over the fence and follow the path all the way down... |
 |
| ... to the Cape Collinson Battery. Very Instagrammed spot (especially from the inside looking out). Once done, retrace your steps all the way back up to the road and head left, again towards the prison. |
 |
| Once you have reached the Capre Collinson Correctional Facility's gates, take the steps on the right, and go around the fence... |
 |
| ... and over the pipes. There's a clear path afterwards. |
 |
| The path ends at concrete tombstones. Keep going straight and down into the forest. The path will then go steeply up. Can be slippery, be careful. |
 |
| As you ascend, you will reach this split. Head right. |
 |
| You will eventually reach the Pottinger Peak Country Trail. Head right into it. |
 |
| Head left here, towards Cape Collinson Road. |
 |
| After 10 minutes or so on Cape Collinson Road, you will reach this point (there's a trail distance marker). Head right and you will soon arrive at Pottinger Peak View Compass (砵甸乍山觀景台) where the view is superb on a cloudless day. |
 |
| Once you are done with the view, keep going on the path which return to Pottinger Peak Country Trail. But then, keep going straight on the dirt path. |
 |
| Soon after, you will reach this other dilapidated battery. From this point on, just follow the dirt path for about 1km or so. There's going to be a steep and slippery down section. Be careful. |
 |
| Then, you will reach this point. Take the stairs down on the right. |
 |
| At the crossroads, take the steps down through the fence opening. You will go through a cemetery. At the entrance of the cemetary, just keep going straight. You will soon see the signs guiding you to the Chai Wan MTR. |

 |
| Get off at the Ting Kau stop. |
 |
| Go over the bridge behind you |
 |
| Climb the little "bump" in the road, and take the road to the right... |
 |
| ... that road to the right... |
 |
| About 15 minutes walk in, you'll see the waterfall which is the stream's entry-point |
 |
| You need to cross the catch-water on the left of the waterfall, cross the waterfall, and climb-up on the right to bypass it. There's a visible footpath at the top. Then hop back in the stream |
 |
You'll reach this nice waterfall (石室瀑) and pool. Most likely will be dry-ish if it has not rained a lot. Bypass is on the left as pictured. There's a yellow ribbon marking the bypass |
 |
| The last, big waterfall is the Stone Dragon Waterfall (石龍飛瀑). Bypass is on the right. The stream section is no more than 500m long |
 |
| At the top of the bypass, you can go left to reach the top of the waterfall, snap a few pictures and come back. Head right to continue the hike. |
 |
| After a minute or two walk from the last fork, you will be presented with this view and you will see a path going up on your left. Take the path on your left. |
 |
| Go straight. |
 |
| Slight left. |
 |
| About 3.7km from the start of your hike (400m elevation), you will cross the Yuen Tsuen Ancient trail. Head right towards Tsuen Wan. |
 |
| Keep right. |
 |
| Left. |
 |
| Straight. |
 |
| Back in town. Tsuen Wan. |
 |
| Left here, at the Adventist Hospital. |
