TAI SHING STREAM

This is another refreshing stream trekking exploration and I like this trail because there are plenty of pool to swim from. We went here during the rainy days in Hong Kong which is why the water in the stream is so spectacular. 

HOW TO GET THERE:
Take the MTR and head on towards Tsuen Wan Station (MTR Red Lane) and leave using Exit B. Take the footbridge and at the end of it use the left hand side staircase, immediately turn right on the junction and another right on the next junction and u will see the mini bus terminus 82. Take the minibus 82 and it would take about 15-20mins to reach the bus terminus at Pineapple Dam (Shing Mun Country Park). 

TRAIL INFO:
  • Difficulty: 3/5
  • Terrain: Stream and Natural Trail (at the ending)   


LOGISTICS:
  • 15L-20L Packs (Dry bag as much as possible)
  • 2L Water

LET'S GO!

STARTING POINT / 82 BUS TERMINUS
You will see this landmark and this is also the Bus Terminus of mini Bus 82.

Hike along the the Shing Mun Reservoir and you will eventually meet this concrete road. Walk until you reach the bridge and the starting point of Tai Shing Stream.

Okay, this photo was taken below the bridge and the starting point of Tai Shing Stream.
This bridge is also located next to the bbq area.


WHY IS IT WORTH TREKKING?

...HERE'S WHY!














The above highlights of the trail are the best part to expect from this exploration and it is rather rewarding to take a plunge or dip in all the pool section. When you reach the huge waterfall section..your done with your trek and all you need to do is to follow the clear trail path uphill until you reach the main trail and head towards the left side (Downhill) to end your journey. Your expecting to see a lavatory at the end point and use the concrete road again to reach the Shing Mun Reservoir and Pineapple Dam.







Friendly Reminder
Enjoy Your Country Park, Enjoy Hiking and Leave No Trace!
