Trip report: Over 25(!) people turned up on National day and enjoyed the trip to 2 of the most beautiful waterfalls in Hong Kong. It had been raining before and there was plenty of water making the waterfalls more spectacular. The rock climbing parts made the hike more interesting. Afterwards, some of us also enjoyed the afternoon tea at Tai Po before heading back to city.


Original trip plan

Time and Date: 1:30pm Tue 1 Oct 2002
Meeting place: Ticket counter of Tai Po KCR Rail Station
Difficulty: 1 (1-5, 1 = easy)
Time: ~1hr hiking time
Description: This is also a very easy hike. From Tai Po station, the bus no. 275R (weekend and holiday only) will take you all the way to the Bridal Pool and no. 75 will take you to Tai Mei Doe and takes about 40 mins to get to Bridal Pool. We'll take the 275R. After visiting the Bridal Pool and Fall, we will hike our way to the Mirror Pool and Fall which are also very impressive. We can spend a relax afternoon at the pool before returning the same path to catch the bus back to Tai Po Station.
