WALK SUMMARY

One of Hong Kong's most varied and ravishing walks, in the north-east New Territories, starting and finishing at a trailhead near the Bride's Pool waterfall.

A steep climb gets you to a delightful stream sheltered by lush sub-tropical trees. A steady traverse on a good trail then a sharp climb bring you, quite suddenly, to the needle peak of Pat Sun Leng, the easternmost part of this long high ridge above Tolo Harbour. The view from here is a marvel: 360 degrees, across the shining expanse of sea toward the mountains behind Kowloon, the Plover Cove reservoir and broken ridges of the range's northern flanks.

A lovely path winds along the serrated ridge, before you turn off along a long ridge which snakes down to the broken plateau to the north; you pass pockets of remote abandoned farmland before dropping back to the trailhead at Bride's Pool.
