Pak Tam Country Trail lies within Sai Kung East Country
Park. An ancient village path, it is a level route
and suitable for the whole family.
Pak Tam Country
Trail begins with a gentle climb through a dense
forest with delightful sounds of insects and birds.
Winding through the woods, the path trends down to
a gap where the peaks surround on all sides. In the
distance, Ngau Yee Shek Shan and Cheung Sheung rear
up majestically.
Past the management
centre, views open up to reveal Tai Cham Koi and
Pai Ngak Shan on the left, as well as several rustic
islands off the Sai Kung coast : the quaint chapel
on Yim Tin Tsai, the Jockey Club Public Golf Course
in northern Kau Sai Chau, anglers' favourite Kiu
Tsui, and the notorious High Junk Peak in southeastern
Sai Kung.
The trail ends
at Yee Ting on Pak Tam Road. This finishing point
is a picturesque campsite, for which its entrance
is approached by an ornate stone arch wall. Outside
the camp, an elegant plant - Stripe Bamboo brandishes
striking colours.
