Tiger’s Head Hike

We decided to do the Tiger’s Head Hike on the 24th of January, starting from Tung Chung MTR Station, and ending at Discovery Bay North Plaza. From the MTR Station, we walked through Citygate, and continued past the Caribbean Coast Housing Estate, until we arrived at the PetroChina Petrol Station. From here, look for a path that continues past the Petrol Station, and bring you along the side of the MTR tracks. Continue walking along this path until you arrive at a pedestrian underpass. Pass under the highway, and continue walking straight onto a road. You are now on the Olympic Trail. On the Olympic Trail, you will pass through the villages of Pak Mong, Ngau Kwu Long and Tai Ho San Tsuen, until you arrive at a peak with multiple intersections. On the path which goes towards Mui Wo, you will take a left turn. You are now on the path towards Tiger’s Head. On this path, you will pass by Wong Chuk Long Shan, Standing Rock and Wo Sheung Tung, before arriving at the peak known as Tiger’s Head (Lo Fu Tau). Just below the peak, you will have a few paths to choose from; they could bring you to Discovery Bay North or South Plaza. We opted for the path which leads towards the North Plaza, as we were craving a slice of Paisano’s Pizza! Just a warning that the descent may be more difficult than the ascent due to the steepness of the dirt slope, which makes it more difficult to grip onto. There were a few slips by us, but nothing serious! We managed to stay on our feet and make it down safely! Here are the statistics of our hike: • Moving Time: 3 hours minutes • Average Pace: 14 minutes per kilometer • Elapsed Time: 3 hours 10 minutes • Elevation Gain: 608 meters • Maximum Elevation: 457 meters I hope you can use them to effectively plan out your hike. #hiking #nature #staycations #mytripvlog #tripblazers #hk
