This Sunday we shall explore the Eastern part of Sai Kung. Basically we will do a circular walk around the East Sai Kung Country Park. We'll meet at 11:00 a.m. at the Hang Seng mini-bank inside the Diamond Hill MTR Station and catch the bus no.96R to Tsak Yue Wu. The bus rides to Tsak Tue Wu will take about 50 minutes. Trampers can meet us alternatively at Pak Tam Chung bus terminus ( Tsak Yue Wu is the second bus stop after Pak Tam Chung) around 11:40 a.m. where Ringo will pick up the group. The walk starts with uphill climb to Pai Ngak Shan which is the highest point for the day at about 400M. We will then descend towards Luk Wu Country Trail and eventually reach Luk Wu. After the Wu, we will turn east to visit another two Shans, Tin Mei Shan and Tai Cham Koi . If the sky are clear on that day, we shall be able to enjoy panoramic view of the High Island Reservoir on the Koi's peak. We will then descend to Pak Tam Chung to finish the day.
This walk itself is not too difficult except most of the trail is un-shade, so bring a hat and plenty of water. An early exit is possible after we have done the Luk Wu and before climbing up to Tin Mei Shan
If it is raining or threatening to rain (thunderstorm warning), the walk will still go ahead but we will hike on another part of the Sai Kung . If in doubt on the morning of the walk, call 8209-0517. For those who prefer to wait at Pak Tam Chung can contact Ringo on 91230365. Remember don't be late!
