All our walks are led by volunteers and are planned one week in advance.  If you don't see an itinerary on our homepage, that means no one has proposed anything yet.  And if one is not posted by Saturday, you can safely assume that there is no walk the following day.

We communicate via our website and we do not maintain a mailing list.

Posted on behalf of leader Liza

In our ongoing series on ‘Trampers Explore Waterfalls in Hong Kong’, Liza will lead a walk to Wong Lung Ha Stream on 14th June 2009. We meet once more at 10.30AM in Tung Chung MTR station, near the exit with the big map.

Please bring hat, torch, food and a sense of adventure.

Liza will post any amendments to this walk. Please check this website in case it is raining on Sunday.

 

What is Wong Lung?

First of all, please don’t confuse Wong Lung with Wing Lung like I do. Wing Lung is a bank in Hong Kong. Wong Lung is a spectacular stream. In fact, so spectacular that it has a name carved out for itself much like Roger Federer in the world of tennis. It is relatively a large, serene pool surrounded by boulders and greenery.

What are we going to do?

We’ll take a cab to the starting point. From there, we’ll do some boulder hopping to get to the stream (about an hour). After relaxing in the pool, we have to climb up to 800M in order to get to Lin Fa Shaan. The path is going to be quite steep and the climb will be quite tough. We also get to dangle dangerously from ropes that have been suspended from a 100M altitude. Of course, any careless monkey business can result in all kinds of injuries so we are going to behave well and act like tamed monkeys.

We will eventually get to Mui Wo where we'll have some sumptuous food and chilled beer at a Dai Pai Dong.

2. Wong Lung Hang ( Yellow Dragon River)
This hike is not for the faint-hearted,for those who afraid of heights,and no sense of balance. It is mainly stream boulder- hopping half of the way and after the stream it will be a strenouos up-hill trek with a series of rope ladden trails to reach the 700m more or less of the Lantau Trail Stage 2 ( between Lin Fa Shan and Sunset Peak). Please,please, to avoid any sense-less comment, you must '' READ MANY TIMES AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND '' the Hong Kong Trampers Disclamer before you showed up on the day of the hike. Any sense-less and comment will be ignored! 
 
Hoping for a dry ,sunny day so the adventurous Trampers will enjoy this hike. 
 
Best Regards,  
Liz
