**Hike: Tai Po Kau Forest Hike (Yellow Trail 10 km & Blue Trail 4 km)** **Difficulty Level:** 3 out of 5 **Distance:** 14 km (approximate) **Time:** 5 hours (approximate) **Description:** Join us for an exciting day at Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve, where we’ll hike a total of 14 kilometers by combining the yellow trail and the blue trail. The yellow trail covers 10 kilometers and takes you deep into a vibrant subtropical forest. You’ll walk beneath a beautiful canopy of banyan and camphor trees that create a calming green atmosphere. After completing the yellow trail, we’ll tackle the blue trail, a 4-kilometer loop that’s perfect for getting up close with the reserve’s diverse plant and animal life. Both trails offer a chance to spot various birds and enjoy the peaceful surroundings away from the city. **What to bring:** * 2-3 liters of water (water available for sale along the way) * Snacks to eat along the way (sandwich, fruits, nuts, etc) * Comfortable shoes * Sunglasses * Headgear (cap/hat) * Sunscreen * Bug Spray * In case of Rain: plan accordingly **Toilets:** The Tai Wai MTR station will have a toilet before you exit the turnstalls. **Stores:** The Tai Wai MTR station will have stores for you to buy any last minute items. It is best to come prepared with water and snacks. **Meeting Point:** Tai Wai MTR - B. Once everyone arrives, we'll take bus 72A and alight at Chung Tsai Yuen. If everyone agrees for the faster option, we can opt to take a taxi to the trailhead. **Time:** 10:00 am (SHARP!) **IMPORTANT:** Out of respect to the members that arrive on time, we will only be able to wait a maximum of 5 minutes. Should you arrive after 10:05 am, I will no longer be answering phone calls or responding to messages as I need to give my time and attention to those that have arrived on time.
