Shek Kong to Ma On Kong Information

This pleasant trail starts at Shek Kong Camp (RouteTwisk), goes along the vehicul araccess next to the catchwater path, and then reaches Ho Pui via Tsing Tam Reservoir. The trail is a pleasant level walk, shaded by tall trees on both sides. You can enjoy the view of the distant Pat Heung plain, and the tranquil environment nearby adds to the outing pleasure. Pay attention to occasional traffic, as some vehicles have access to the road. After crossing Ho Pui and changing course to another section of the catchwater path, continue to follow the uphill footpath, where you can see the distant Yuen Long and Pat Heung.

After walking downhill to Ma On Kong Warden Post, you will reach the Tai Lam Tunnel Interchange, where you can take buses to Yuen Long and the urban areas. For many decades, Pat Heung has been an important part of Hong Kong's rural community. Irrigation reservoirs like Lower Tsing Tam Reservoir are designed to supply irrigation water to farmers in Pat Heung. To meet the increasing demand for water, the government expanded the catchment area of Tai Lam Chung Reservoir to take in hill streams from Tai Mo Shan. Several small reservoirs were also built to aid irrigation.
