Lung Ha Wan Country Trail extends from Tai Hang Tun
to Lung Ha Wan, passing through a scenic region
of Clearwater Bay Country Park. There is a public
carpark near the entrance in Tai Hang Tun, and
a sizeable barbecue area where a kiosk, the Clearwater
Bay Visitor Centre and Clearwater Bay Tree Walk
are located. Before setting off, you may visit
the Visitor Centre to familiarize yourself with
nearby recreation facilities, scenic spots and
flora diversity.
Adjacent to Tai
Hang Tun carpark, the trail entrance is a flight
of steps. It takes about half an hour to reach the
291m rounded summit of Tai Leng Tung. Like blunt
arrows, the capes juts out into the sea on the eastern
shore of Clearwater Bay.
Further up the
trail, there is a lookout at a high point where the
indented coasts and archipelagos of Clearwater Bay
come into full view. In the near distance are Port
Shelter and the Ninepins. If you have binoculars
handy, you can observe the sea caves on nearby islands.
Sculpted by waves, they are masterpieces of nature.
In the past, Lung
Ha Wan was a famous tourist spot, popular not only
with picnickers but the local film industry, for
it was the shooting location for many movies.
