Tuen Mun to Siu Lam Information

The hike goes through Tai Lam Country Park. Proceeding along Stage10 of the MacLehose Trail, but in the opposite direction to the MacLehose, the trail goes from Ho Fuk Tong (TuenMun) to Pak Shek Hang. Much of the initial section is the road access by a catchwater path with a very gentle gradient, suitable for the entire family to walk easily. Along the trail are several picnic areas and fitness facilities. Higher up you can command a view of Tuen Mun new town. Much farther off, Hong Kong International Airport lies across the water. At the end of the catchwater path at Pak Shek Hang, walking uphill along a forest trail you arrive at the southern dam of the impressive Tai Lam Chung Reservoir. After crossing the dam, you can go along a footpath down to the vehicular access to get to Palatial Coast.

Constrained by a lack of freshwater from natural rivers and lakes, Hong Kong depends on Dongjiang and natural rainfall for its water supply. Today, one third of our land has been developed into catchwaters that total 120 km in length. While collecting and diverting rainwater to our reservoirs.
