Kau Keng Shan‧ WalkOnHill - A trail for hiking in Hong Kong

Head Tuen Mun Trail to the left, after ascend the flight of steps, then follow Tiger Valley Path (also named as Tuen Mun Trail Section 2) on the right. It initially ascends the flight of stone steps then joins the muddy path winding up along the hillsides toward the valley. Along the way overlooking forward, the targeted electric tower could be seen in the valley. Look back far, the lofty hill of Castle Peak is towering behind Tuen Mun. After passing the rest area "Yee Shum Yuen" on the left, still go ahead. Looking around on the hillsides, the scars of wildfires have already recoverd after the plantation where there are many tender trees in tender green. After pass through the electric tower on the left hillside, go forward a bit then turn right at the junction to join the north west ridges of Kau Keng Shan. Other than the long flight of concrete steps on the north ridge named "Sky Ladder" climbing Kau Keng Shan, there are also several muddy paths along the northwest ridges uphill. The paths are complicated but obvious, most of them are different routes to the same destination.

Note: The uphill paths of the northwest ridges of Kau Keng Shan are quite complicated where there are many junctions without any signpost. You are required to prepare a related map or a device with GPS function for reference. Moreover, parts of the path are quite and full of loose gravel that requires clambering. Recommend to put on gloves.

Head right to the helipad from the transmitting station. You could descend the north long flight of the concrete steps on the left to join Tiger Valley Path. Afterward, follow the muddy path on the right-front with the ribbon marks at the entry, it is obvious and undulates roughly toward the east. Initially it is gently down along the hillsides, then turn left at the junction. Down to the next junction, trace the right path gently up. Along the way, Tai Lam Chung Reservoir could be seen forward in the distance. Not far ahead, it straight descends the steep gully wth the loose gravel. Down to the junction then turn left, it goes downward along the gully again and then goes upward to the next junction on the knoll. At the time overlooking forward, the south of Tai Lam Chung Reservoir are within the sight. Gazing to the left slightly, the eroded rolling hills and slopes due to weathering are undulating.

From the junction, follow the left path roughly toward the northeast, it then sharply turns steep downward. After descending to the shrubland in the recession, trace the left path according to the ribbon marks up to the next junction. If head the right path, it could lead down southward to join MacLehose Trail. At the time, follow the left path toward the left targeted knoll where there is the electric towers standing. Contouring along the undulated hillsides, the trail leads up on the knoll beside the electric tower then climbs the hill ahead. Afterward, head the trail a short distance from the hilltop, then turn right to trace the side path with the ribbon marks at the entry. It is sharply down to the valley then climbs up the hill ahead having a electric tower. At the hilltop looking down, the long and straight ridge lies in the valley like a natural runway - The God Track. The jade green of Wong Nai Tun Reservoir could be also seen above it.

Head the path ahead downhill according to the ribbon marks toward the electric tower in the valley below, it initially descends along the steep ridge in "S" shape. Along the way, it offers the full view over Tai Tong and Yuen Long. Down to the woodland, the path tames a little but it is still full of loose gravel. After the downhill, it passes a small canyon then comes to the "runway" of The God Track, which means rut of buggy like the two parallel and straight notches made by god. However, the "track" is full of trees and weeds now and means that the soils are improving overthere. Afterward, go ahead along the track to the end, then follow the path in the front. It leads down to the the valley, cuts through the woods, then comes to Wong Nai Tun Reservoir. After passing through the dam, follow the country trail on the left according to the signpost to Tai Tong. Along the trail, it descends until joining the concrete path. Finally, trace the concrete path to the right through the hamlet of Yeung Ka Tsuen, it then passes through the bridge and then turns left and go ahead to the bus terminal at Kiu Hing Road.
