Lin Fa Shan to Yuen Tsuen Anicent Trail Information


Starting at the Twisk Management Centre, Tai Mo Shan, the route goes along the forested Stage 9 of the MacLehose Trail. Here, amidst the shady acacia trees, walking is pleasant and relaxing. Take the left-hand forest trail to Lin Fa Shan at the junction of Lin Fa Shan, then change course at the end of the trail. Here trees are planted by corporations in the Corporate Afforestation Scheme. You will also see the ruined Lin Fa Shan school.From there walk straight ahead along Yuen Tsuen Ancient Trail towards Tsuen Wan, where you have magnificent views of Tsing Ma Bridge at Shek Lung Kung. Besides viewing Tsuen Wan and Tsing Yi, you also overlook distant Lantau Island and Hong Kong International Airport.

Named after Tai Mo Shan (957 m), the highest mountain in Hong Kong, Tai Mo Shan Country Park is traversed by Route Twisk. The word "Twisk" actually indicates the highway's starting and ending points, i.e. Tsuen Wan (TW) and Shek Kong (SK). Tsuen Kam Au, the highest point along the route, is some 500 metres above sea level. At this hilltop locale you find the Tai Mo Shan Country Park management centre.
