Easy Hike: The Thousand Islands, Sai Kung

Whenever I want to get some air, The Thousand Islands in SAI KUNG comes to my thinking. My eyes will be brightened by such greenish islands as Kau Sai Chau and Tsam Chuk Wan. When reaching to a top of 317m, you will be rewarded by the thrilling scenery.

We will start trekking from Pak Tam Chung , visit Tai Tun (317m) and land in Muk Yue Tau. It’s just about 6km hike in theory, if we skip Lui Ta Shek Shan (379m). Let’s see.

Most trails are well-paved. But crumbling stones scatter in the latter part of the hike when landing. Please wear hiking shoes with good-grip. Let’s have dinner afterwards.
