Duration:
75 minutes
Appreciation: 6/10. Don't have too high expectations, the "Grand Canyon" is quite small. I also don't like the return access which is via an infrequent minibus
Difficulty: 3/10
Cel phone coverage: Everywhere
Water needs: 1 liter
Transportation: Red light rail #505 to Leung King Light Rail MTR station from Siu Hong MTR station on West Rail line. Return via minibus at Ha Pak Lai
Why it's worth it:
 |
| Take the West Rail MTR line and get off at Siu Hong. Then take red light rail #505 and alight at Leung King. Cross the tracks, and you will be in front of Leung King Plaza. |
 |
| Go around Leung King Plaza (on the right) |
 |
 |
You'll see a little walkway that gets you to a road, where you head left.
No major risk of getting lost there, the village is so small.
|
 |
| Just walk along the road... |
 |
... until the road curves to the left and, to your right, you'll see a path going up the hill.
That's the beginning of the trail.
|
 |
| The PLA area gates might be closed, just go around. From that point on, you just have to follow the main trail (don't divert via any side-trail which may be going up mountains or hills). You'll go up for maybe 30 minutes and then down towards the canyon. |
 |
| And eventually the path will get you here. Be careful at the edges |
 |
Once you're done, keep going, following the path down towards Ha Pak Lai.
You'll get to this point where the PLA is informing you that you essentially have gone all rogue and illegal.
Head right
|
 |
Then left here towards the village and the minibus terminus.
The terminus is a good 10 minutes walk away
|
 |
The beach, on your right, along the way to the minibus.
Quite dirty and stinky, but good for sunset pictures
|
 |
| There you go, minibus stop. Usually busy on weekend around sunset time |
