Keung Shan country trail goes
down south at Fan Shui Au. Paved with natural rocks,
this section has a very pleasant natural feeling.
About 1 kilometre in front you arrive at the Kau
Ling Chung Catchwater, the finishing point of this
trail.
About 200 metres
from this point lies the entrance of Kau Ling Chung
Campsite. As the most idyllic camp ground on Lantau,
this site has a beach with translucent water and
slivery sand. On a knoll east of the campsite, you
find a lookout pavilion and the South Lantau Obelisk.
The South Lantau
Obelisk is set atop a hill 60m above Kau Ling Chung.
It was erected in 1902, following China and Britain's
signing of the "Sino-British Convention for
the Extension of Hong Kong Territory" on 9 June
1898.
