Tai Lam Nature Trail Information

Walk up from Tai Tong Shan Road for about 1 hour till you reach the starting point at Pak Kung Au. Traversing Tai Tong and Sham Tseng, the trail features some interpretation signs with 3D graphics for scratching onto souvenir paper.

The nature trail passes a Pak Kung Temple. Thoughtfully placed on this major access between local villages and the rural market, the temple gave blessings of safety to travellers. Outside the temple is a woodland of tall Paper-bark Trees - product of single species afforestation before the 1980's. This fast growing species adapts to poor soil conditions well.

Follow the Nam Hang Pai Ancient Trail which was built three or four hundred years ago, the Tai Lam Chung Reservoir was at scene. The reservoir was developed from a river valley where one of the villages was called Tai Lam. The stream that enters the valley is named Tai Lam Chung, hence giving the reservoir's name.

To promote biodiversity in these woodlands, the Country Parks and Marine Parks Authority has employed many sustainable forestry technologies - this Trail offers detailed descriptions on thinning, pruning, felling and foreign tree species.
