Cheung Sheung Country Trail Information

Cheung Sheung Country Trail is a favourite hiking trail amongst hikers and campers. Climbing up steadily from Hoi Ha Road, there is a distant view of the hillfire lookout atop Lo Fu Kei Shek on the right. To your left is the Wong Shek pier at Ko Tong Hau. Further up, the path passes by Wong Chuk Long, a deserted and forlorn village.

Cheung Sheung Village, set among grassy patches, is nestled under rolling peaks far away from city hustle. The rugged contour of Shek Uk Shan - Sai Kung's highest crest is within sight. The old village school used to receive children from Wong Chuk Long and Cheung Sheung. During the Japanese Occupation, the school house was used by the anti-Japanese gorillas as a communications base.

The path soon arrives at Au Mun. From the lowlands undulating spurs rear up : Kai Kung Shan and Wa Mei Shan on your left and Shek Uk Shan on your right. Behind you, the summits of Ngam Tau Shan and Ngau Yee Shek Shan reach for the clouds. In the distance, Ma On Shan, Pat Sin Leng and Tolo Channel offer splendid views.

The next leg is a long and steep flight of steps that lead down 300m to Yung Shue O Village. Named Jacob's Ladder by hikers, this section demands extra care.
