Tiny creek around Maclehose trail section 1. A few man made structures & little more in it. Only for the most hardcore “I want to see them all”.
- Beauty/fun: 1.5/10 long logistics, bushy approach, little flow, no significant waterfalls. Just a few mildly interesting man made structures.
- Difficulty (check this link if new here, this is not your standard HK hiking web): 4/10 if you are into this kind of “fun” this should be a piece of cake. If you are not into checking the most remote what are you doing here? 😅

Last stream checked that day. So after Po Kwu Hang I jogged on the nice hiking path for a while and went down towards Yuen Ng Fan (Nam Fung Wan) Campsite. Eventually you need to find a faint path to shortcut to the coastline. I passed it the first time without even realizing. Bushy but clear with ribbons once you find the entry.
Next to the coastline the path was messier than before. I had checked it while coasteering under. Now full of broken trees and growing bush. Find the fence around the High Island main pumping station and go all around it to the bottom of the stream (0:21) Nam Fung Hang 南風坑. There were a few ribbons from the Crepuscularhikers. Clear sign of a rarely hiked stream. A bit bushy, but nothing compared with my morning. A few man made pools. Something that looks like a tiny bridge (1:00) that I am not sure what it was used for. Small waterfalls. And nothing more. The woods open for a tiny section and in no time I arrived at the hiking path (15). Less than half kilometer, 50m total elevation gain in 35 minutes for the whole thing.
From there I jogged back to the bus stop (16). Just one before Pak Tam Chung, to queue a bit less.
