Low flow stream with dense vegetation just interesting in the lower part. At the bottom volcanic columns that look like a church organ.
- Beauty/fun: 3.5/10 the bottom is pretty but it can be frequently full of plastic trash, stream with low flow and without interesting waterfalls after the initial one. Add complex logistics. A stream that I wouldn’t do on its own.
- Difficulty (check this link if new here, this is not your standard HK hiking web): 4/10 if coasteering from Sai Wan and going upstream. You could do this without coasteering in low tide, but there is at least a high & sketchy scramble if doing so (7/10 difficulty). My recommendation, just get wet, a short swim and a wade, and do it easy.

See full screen & the Garmin track.
As mentioned in the previous post we hiked this stream after going up White Waterfall.
You could do the stream on its own, even without coasteering. No recommended, but doable. I see now checking the name 風琴坑 = Organ creek, that the Sankala team did it that way. In any case, here the video of our downstream.
The upper entry path is just next to this sign.
Bushy initially but not thorny.
The GPS tracking is correct and we saw a few ribbons guiding us correctly to the stream. We were lucky and the guys, who I mentioned in the previous post, had hiked it before us (I guess hiking the brown route on the map) and had done some gardening. So I did not need to use my pruners to open the way. It is dense anyhow. Not much hiking traffic here. The stream has not much difficulty but for the slippery rocks.
Mostly with little gradient and small waterfalls.
On top of the main waterfall.
Under you can see the “organ” on its left.
Easy scrambling on its left too, looking from below. Short coasteering and back in Sai Wan beach. Speedboat return allowed us to enjoy the views of all what we had coasteered and the White Waterfall at its best.
A few more pics.
