Mui Wo to Nam Shan Information

This short walk starts at Mui Wo Ferry Pier, with its regular ferry services. The route goes along the final section of the LantauTrail, but in the opposite direction. It passes the Mui Wo Sewage Treatment Plant and over looks its operation. At Yuen Kok Tau, there is a pleasant view of Hei Ling Chau and Chi Ma Wan. After changing course at Lai Chi Yuen you reach Pak Fu Tin Barbecue Area, with a tranquil natural environment for families to enjoy, especially in summer. You will see Pak Fu Tin Wild Camp Site, just up from Pak Fu Tin Barbecue Area. Walk straight ahead for half a kilometre, to reach the Nam Shan Barbecue Area.

Fronted by Silvermine Bay, Mui Wo is set beneath the foothills of Lin Fa Shan in the west. With an ample supply of freshwater from hill streams originating from the highlands, it is a fertile coastal plain well suited for agriculture. In the past, Mui Wo was the site of rural villages like Luk Tei Tong, Tsoi Yuen, Chung Hau, Miu Wo Old Village and Lung Mei. Today it is a thriving seaside town with modern village houses and holiday homes. Most of the fields are abandoned. Only a scattered few are still worked by farmers.
