Unfortunately, it was foggy on the day we went there, so the photos were relatively not so good. When we left the observation deck, we walked left to the Sau Kwan Wok Village minibus stop. Along the way, you would see a small stall. The goods it sells are quite exquisite, with Diy jewelry made of natural pearls/crystals, small potted plants, and fingers Piano, wood carving doll... the price is quite reasonable, adopt the honest money box way to pay, Payme accepts! I didn't give up and bought a few loot to leave as souvenirs for my friends. But there the network is not very smooth, may not use Payme, if you want to buy, I suggest bringing more cash! Further on you will see a few little black sheep, they are very docile and obedient, only occasionally will find their heads to hit each other, we can enjoy with them to take pictures, but it is not recommended to touch their land, because You can see with the naked eye that there are quite a few parasites on his body. After reaching the minibus stop at Sau Kwan Wok Village, take minibus 43 to Tuen Mun city centre. It is convenient to transfer to bus/subway! Overall this route is low in difficulty, with many ramps and fewer steps, and I saw a lot of children/families while walking. The round trip can be done in 3 hours. Everyone can go while the weather is still cool! #parent-child destination #hiking destination #Thousand Island Lake Clearview Platform #beginner hiking #little black sheep #Tai Lam Chung Reservoir

#High Altitude Viewing #Local Tour I believe you have heard of Thousand Island Lake. It is actually located in Tai Lam Chung Reservoir in Tai Lam Country Park. The original site of the reservoir was a valley, and after it was submerged in the valley, the hill that came out became the small island in the reservoir now. How to get there: Get off at Tai Tong Bus Station, climb up Tai Tong Hill Road, take the MacLeod Trail and continue towards the Thousand Island Lake Observation Deck.

The way to get to Tai Lam Chung Reservoir can see my other post, if you want to just go up the reservoir then you can actually take a taxi to go directly to the mountainside location, and walk another 10 minutes to get to the reservoir! However it is recommended to start from the transfer station so that you can walk for 30 more minutes with more exercise! Alternatively, you can choose to cycle directly up to the reservoir, because the route up is all concrete roads, from the reservoir all the way to Qiandao Lake is a good option, but be aware of other hikers to avoid danger! The scenery along the way is beautiful, perfect for taking pictures. There are some solar panels built inside the reservoir now. I wonder what they are for? The whole route only takes an hour and a half round trip, perfect for hikers! #hiking route recommendation #countryside #local tour

Tai Lam Chung Reservoir was built in 1957 and is located in Tai Lam Country Park. Because it consists of many small islands, it is known as the "Thousand Islands Lake in Hong Kong". Starting from Sao Kwun Wat Village, it takes about 1.5 hours of hiking to reach Qingjing Terrace and overlook Qiandao Lake. Qiandao Lake Qingjing Terrace was completed in 2019. Now you can easily reach it by taking the stairs instead of climbing the gravel and dirt road! Arrive at the location with railings (be careful, as many cars parked here on holidays may block the entrance) and walk into the railings. After walking a short distance, you will find a dirt road leading to Dashi. If you are interested in going to Dashi, you can reach the top in less than 10 minutes, but it is quite steep. After climbing the big rock and taking photos, you can return along the road you just took and continue walking towards Qingjingtai. If it rains in the past few days, you won’t be able to take pictures of the coastline, also known as the “sand edge”. You can pay attention to the weather report in advance. When going down the mountain, you can choose to return along the original route or go to Datong. #Good Places to Go in the Countryside#Hiking

There is another hiking hotspot. Starting from Tuen Mun Sau Kwan Hut, there are many slopes and ramps along the way. After walking for about three and a half hours, we arrived at the main character of this time, Lake Thousand Islands. Up to the Clear View Terrace, overlooking the distance 🔭, there are large and small islands, very beautiful, although the weather today is very hazy, does not hinder us to enjoy the beautiful scenery 🏞🏞 P.S up to Thousand Island Lake really a lot of people. It doesn't matter if there are many people, but can you be a public-minded person, sincerely, and across the fence, and picking mangroves like that. Love nature #countryside good places #local tour

Uncle was caught going hiking early this Saturday morning... He left at 9am and took a minibus from Tuen Mun New Market to get off outside Tai Lam Prison and walk directly up! It turns out that after walking for about 30 minutes you can get to Shuiba, the whole journey is very comfortable and relaxing on asphalt roads! There are not many people hiking here today, only a few groups of hiking uncles and aunts and cyclists. I really hope that the people cycling on the mountain have some morality. When I walked to the middle of Shuiba, I really saw a lot of mangroves on the stairs on the hillside. Because the sun was not very strong today, I couldn't sunbathe the golden light! However, it is very beautiful, did not waste my mind so far waterway walked over, then go to the end of the water dominate the building to take pictures of the reservoir, sunlight hit the reservoir road instead reflect to shine, this hiking difficulty is really not high, beginners can walk all the way, recommend rock hiking friends over to see the scenery! #wintertravel #countryside

The autumn wind has finally started 🥰 Today I walked to Tai Lam Country Park and felt that it was a pretty easy place to walk☺️ It was a good place for a picnic🐾 There is a canal along the way that can guide our land all the way forward However, there are more private cars driving in on the days near the mountain 🚗 If like our hikers are stopped by the staff of the Fisheries and Conservation Department from driving into the park Halfway through the walk even a few aunts are selling personally feel quite dangerous ⚠️ because it is really only on the side of the road we do not advocate this kind of behavior and bring a little food to suck in fact the whole road is a flat road a very easy to get close to nature 😚 There is a staircase going down to the inside. Although the staircase is very long and there are some graves along the way, I didn't think that I would see the beautiful Tai Tou Hill and Ke Kong Ridge🥺 #parent-child destination #hiking #summer destination

Tai Lam Tsung Reservoir, also known as the ‘Thousand Island Lake’, is a trekking course where you can see the scenery of green islands in the blue lake and the vast sky, and the airplanes heading to the airport. The road, which is located on the outskirts of Hong Kong, has lower buildings than the city center and the red flowers of the Bombax Ceiba, a street tree, are more clearly visible, and you can enjoy it most excitingly from the front seat on the second floor of the K66 bus. After getting off the bus, there is a steep uphill road to the barbecue area at the entrance of Tai Lam Country Park, but it is fun to watch people riding mountain bikes down like a cool breeze. The ‘Sweet Gum Woods’ of Tai Lam Country Park is a forest with rare autumn leaves in Hong Kong, which has a subtropical climate. If you go trekking in December to January, you can walk on the beautifully transformed autumn leaves. Of course, it is also a good path to walk in other seasons when the colorful green leaves are abundant. The view of the Thousand Islands Lake from the Tai Lam Chung Reservoir Viewpoint is well hidden, but when you see the Thousand Islands Lake at the end of the bumpy dirt road, you will realize that the phrase ‘a view that can only be seen after climbing endless stairs’ is true. Enjoy the clear panoramic view of the Tai Lam Chung Reservoir, which contains the blue islands above the water and the colors of the sky! 🌳 How to get there: ① From Exit B2 of Long Ping MRT Station, Take Bus No. K66 and get off at ‘Tai Tong Shan Road’ stop. ② Go in the order of ‘Tai Tong Barbecue Area’ - ‘Tai Tong Sweet Gum Woods’. ③ At the fork in the road to ‘Tai Tong Sweet Gum Woods’ Head towards ‘Reservoir Islands Viewpoint’. 🌻 Entrance fee : Free ⚘ Tip : When you exit Long Ping Station, there is a traditional market, which is a good place to buy fruits for lunch boxes and snacks. Have lunch at the outdoor tables of ‘Tai Tong Barbecue Area’. The view is great, there is a washing area where you can wash your fruits, and a toilet, and you can sort your trash in the recycling area. For beginners, plan to take about 5-6 hours round trip, and bring plenty of water and hydrating snacks. #ChinaTravelMoment #HongKong #TaiLamCountryPark #TaiLamChungReservoir #Trekking #HongKongTravel
