Introduction:
From the Bui O Public School, and starting off along
the Chi Ma Wan Road, we begin Section 12 of the
Lantau Trail. Continue straight for about 150
metres, where a short trail goes on to Pui O
Beach. Shap Long Au, the gap between the Chi
Ma Wan peninsula and the body of Lantau, is located
at Distance Post L126. We shall turn left, to
the north, and follow Section 12 of the Lantau
Trail as it winds over the hills towards Mui
Wo. After Distance Post L130, the path going
down to Nam Shan is steep, with steps made from
stones found at the spot. The steps end at the
Pak Fu Tin Campsite. Going on for half a kilometre
brings us to a path, which then leads us to a
cement road. From Distance Post L135 walk or
about 1.5 kilometres, Silver Mine Bay is seen
in the middle distance. Looking down from near
Distance Post L138, there is a helipad and, to
the left, a refuse collection and a sewage treatment
plant. Here one is approaching the end of the
Lantau Trail. Continuing past the Mui Wo Southern
District Secondary School, hikers finally reach
Mui Wo Ferry Pier, the end of Lantau Trail.
