Quite some people associate Clear Water Bay with relaxed, or party mode, junk boat days. The area offers way more including an iconic peak and a special looking island.
Relatively wide and easy stream good for beginners with some stamina, as it can get a bit long. Only small waterfalls but with nice pools where to take a rest.
I have written about this iconic landmark several times. Here a summary of all the options, including the classic route.
I wanted to give other tributaries connecting with the main stream down South Heaven’s Gate a try. Just a cute but not especially interesting one.
Another easier way to go to South Heaven’s Gate (all the routes here). Not as spectacular as Dog’s Tooth version, but suitable for less experienced hikers or those with mild vertigo.
Out of the ordinary constructions within Hong Kong landscape. Good for initiation hike or to add to longer routes.
and the rock forest to arrive at it are one of the most spectacular dry routes up Tai Mo Shan Country Park.
There are several rock “gardens” or “forests” in HK. Piles of bare volcanic rocks covering significant areas in the middle of nowhere. Here one of the biggest.
Another alternative plan to Ma Dai stream. You can combine it as a return path for Shek Lung Chai stream, or as main target + bushwalking in the area.
