• We'll take the taxi from the MTR station to Tsing Shan Monastery and hike the steep steps up to the Castle Peak(583M). Then we turn north direction and head down towards Leung King Au which is a possible early exit. After the Au, we will head further north to overcome the other two Shan-Hill 394 M and Yeun Tau Shan(375M). The walk will end near the Ling Dao Monastery.
   
• The walk to the Castle Peak area would be very challenging as it's easy to get lost or spend a lot of time searching for the right direction as it is very gravelly and a lot of fake trails rooting out due to the heavy erosion from the rainy season. Beside the slippery trails, this area is also very exposed and so you must bring enough sun block for protection.  Yes, I never done the whole trail  before, so it's possible there will be some very difficult spots. 
   
   Please remember to bring all the usual gear - lunch, sufficient water/drinks, snacks, a sun hat, sun block, a torch, mosquito spray, gloves, and rain gear if needed.
• If it is raining or threatening to rain (thunderstorm warning), the walk will still go on but we will hike on another part of Tuen Mun. If in doubt on the morning of the walk, call 8209-0517. Remember don't be late! The 10 minutes rule is in force.
