Why it's worth it:
------------------------------
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 go back to town |
Just follow the path which should be mostly visible throughout, until you reach this concrete catch water... |
... which leads you to these stairs which you must take |
Back on the service road. Head right and it will get you back to where you started |
Head-left and take one of the numerous buses/mini-buses that will take you back to Tsuen Wan |
