Tei Tong Tsai Country Trail Information

 


This country trail runs roughly between the boundaries of Lantau North and Lantau South Country Parks. Just 200m from the starting point you find East Lantau Stream, arushing cascade that gathers 6 tributaries that plunge down from the north eastern slope of Lantau Peak. The flow is all year round.

Moving on, about 300m ahead, the trail gives spectacular views : Sunset Peak in the east, Shek Sze Shan and Wo Liu Tun in the northeast, and the Tung Chung alluvial plain in the north. More than ten rural abundant villages originally scattered on the lowland. They gave way for tower blocks upon development of Tung Chung new town.

The trail ends at Tei Tong Tsai. There is a Po Lam Monastery surrounded by old pines. An ancient path outside the Monastery leads to Po Lin Monastery at Ngong Ping. For centuries, villagers traveled on this ancient trail to commute between Tung Chung and Ngong Ping.
