Category Streams

On hot summer days, I like to trail run on the North side of Lion Rock. Shaded & with several creeks to cool down in. In this post all the area.

The little brother of Tai Shing main stream. Clear water and chances of encountering quite some fauna, but little more. Low flow.

It might be the most well-known of the perilous scrambles in HK. Once a feared courage & skills test, dangerously becoming an Instagram spot…

Small stream with just a few interesting trees and man-made structures. Very little flow, small climbable waterfalls, and relatively slippery rocks.

Another small stream heading up towards Needle Hill. Gentle high falls and pools that can look pretty in rainy season before bushy/slippery exit.

The most impressive cliff under Needle Hill. That feature aside, a not interesting, slightly tricky & trashed little flow stream within the jungle.

Cute short stream heading down from Needle Hill area. Several smaller waterfalls and pools. I usually hike it down after being in the upper area.

The first stream under Needle Hill that I’d recommend. Cute, a couple of big waterfalls, relatively easy and short. Perfect for a few hours fun or to combine with more.

Small stream, easy and cute. It would be a really nice ending for a short visit to the badlands if it were not for the troublesome exit if you are following the signs around.
