TAI TO YAN - Harvard Club Hike

The trails along the two volcanic ridges of Lam Tsuen Country Park are among the least hiked in Hong Kong. Yet, rising sharply from the plains and valleys below, both trails offer truly spectacular views on a clear day.

Last year, the Harvard Club of Hong Kong enjoyed a successful outing along Cockscomb Ridge, so this year we will take on Tai To Yan (Big Knife Cliff, 566 m.).

We pick up our trail just outside Fan Ling station. Skirting a Taoist temple the first part of the walk up Stables Hill is popular with morning walkers and passes through a number of gardens and shelters “illegally” dug out by locals, but the ridge itself is usually deserted. The absence of fellow hikers can only be due to the amazing number of steps we have to climb to get to the top, because the views from the top are nothing less than spectacular...
