The outing will take you to remote, yet inhabited islands, a number of old villages - some abandoned, others not - interesting countryside and beautiful coastal sceneries.

We have also planned to stop for a great lunch amongst the mangroves, so hurry to contact Janny Leung on 9155-2295 or via janny@se.cuhk.edu.hk to sign up. A minimum number of sign-ups are required, yet spaces on this special outing are limited. Therefore we expect everybody who puts forward their name to honour their commitment, even if circumstances don’t permit them to actually come along on the day!

The total walking distance of the day is 14 km and it is mostly flat or downhill. The longest continuous stretch of walking comes at the very beginning as we cover the 5.5 km from Wu Kau Tang down to Sam A Tsuen. Solely for that reason, the walk is rated as having a difficulty level of 2 out of 10. The remaining 8.5 km of walking are nice and easy and split into 4 sections over 6 hours.

The Basics:

Length: 14 km

Difficulty: 2 out of 10

Highest Point: 105 metres (= the starting point of hike)

Meeting Place and Time: Tai Po Market Railway Station (just after the turnstiles by the Starbucks) at 8:15am
