Tiny stream just good as potential exit for the Tai She coasteering. It gets bushy fast and doesn’t look too have significant waterfalls en route.
- Beauty/fun: 2/10 short before it gets densely bushy, little falls.
- Difficulty (check this link if new here, this is not your standard HK hiking web): 3/10 easy scrambling, relatively short (checked part). Clear but bushy and exit longer than it looks on the map.
- The map (how to download to your phone offline maps)

To end up the long day I checked this tiny stream. Long time ago I mentioned that it looked good for a better exit from the coasteering below. It is and it is not. Video.
Fed up with so much bush walking I decided to dry coasteer after the up and down Tam Shui creeks.
18 on the map is this 深篤南右坑 Sam Tuk South Right creek. The section from the coastline to the path (20) is short and easy, with barely one scrambling point. Not bad to remove the sea salt from your shoes and clothes if you feel like. After the path the stream is even flatter. I could see ribbons again, but as soon as it started to get very dense (19) I just headed down and exited. As mentioned before, this path is a bit misleading. Bushy and with quite some turns. It took me longer than expected to jog to the road (picking up some trash, in case you are wondering what is in my hand). Is it better than to end the coasteering under? I’d say so just to avoid the ship junkyard. Once on the road next to the Chong Hing Water Sports Centre you will need to get a taxi. In my case I jog a bit more than 5km road to Pak Tam Chung from where I took a bus.
