Tiny stream with a few waterfalls, some scrambling and too much bush walking. One more in the MacLehose Trail section one area.
- Beauty/fun: 1.5/10 exclusively for the I want to see them all. Too small & bushy for the effort.
- Difficulty (check this link if new here, this is not your standard HK hiking web): 6/10 after rain, the only time that might remotely look decent, the little high scrambling might be slippery + the navigation atop is anything but simple. Get ready for long bush walking, even when you get into the “path”.

I wanted to ✅️ out all the streams in that area of Saikung. Early wake up and ready for a long day out. Before 9am I was already in Pak Tam Chung & even if the mini buses to East Dam supposedly started at 9:30, half hour early we were on our way. Stop at the entry concrete path down towards Tung A.
Late October mild weather. At 0:05 in the video you can see Dai Hang with little water without recent rains. Continue, take this time the ride path on the fork and in little time I arrived at Pak A Right creek 北丫右坑. At the lower part there are concrete structures for the old water gathering of the village below. Dilapidated. At 0:30 the water gathering pool and the scrambling and bush start (2 on the map). I put my arm sleeves and gloves and scrambled on the left side of the pool. A couple of thin waterfall, next to which to climb. Just after (1:29) it started to get a bit bushier. Still with a few orange ribbons. Eventually trying to follow the stream was more troublesome, with dense vegetation, than finding my way out (2:00 – 2b) on the right of the stream. After some bush walking using my instinct to find the easiest way I arrived at the “path” (2:20 – 3). Faint. There are ribbons every now and then, but it is quite bushy and the hiking therefore slow there until I arrived to the wider one that connects Pak A & Tai She Wan. The latter my next destination.
