Source: traveler.com.hk		 Time and Date: 10:30am Sun 24 Nov 2002

Difficulty: 3.5 (1-5, 1 = easy)
Time: ~4 hr hiking time (whole day trip)

Description: Sai Kung Tai Long Wan area is one of the few areas in Hong Kong that is relatively undisturbed, thus it is one of the most beautiful areas in Hong Kong. But we have heard that the government has started some construction project there :-( On this trip, from Choi Hung, we will take the bus or mini-bus to Sai Kung and then take the taxi or village bus 29R to Sai Wan Ting. From Sai Wan Ting, we will walk through Sai Wan -> Ham Tin Wan -> Tai Long Kau -> Chek King -> Pak Tam Kau. From Pak Tam Kau, we will take 96R back to Diamond Hill MTR, or 94 -> Sai Kung.

Trip report: It was a perfect day for hiking as it was cool and dry. The walk was very pleasant, most part of the path was shaded by trees. There was a small park half way into our round trip. The whole walk took about 2 hours as planned, we then went to a restaurant by the lake called "Little Egret" for afternoon tea.
