Check out this 9.5-km point-to-point trail near Tai Po, Wan Chai. Generally considered a moderately challenging route. This is a popular trail for hiking and walking, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day.

Took the 64K bus, which is a roundtrip from Tai Po Market to Yuen Long, to arrive at the start of the trail. It was a lot of uneven stone stairs at the start, then the direction from Bottom Falls to Main Falls can have some pretty narrow sledges, so take it slow. The way up to Tai Mo Shan is a mix of stairs and a steep dirt path. The dirt path was my favourite spot though. The paved road was nice and the peak of the Tai Mo Shan had quite a number of people on Sunday afternoon. Weather was cloudy at the top, and the sun showed a few times as the clouds cleared. It was a chill hike down since the stone stairs were even, and golden hour was beautiful at the sub peaks of Tai Mo Shan. The hike ended at Tsuen Kam Au, where you take bus 51 down to the Tsuen Wan West MTR.
Great four hour hike from the Rotary Park up Tai Mo Mountain peak via McLehose Trail Section 8 and then down to Ng Tung Chai waterfalls via Ng Tung Chai Trail. Sections of the Ng Tung Chai trail is unpaved and overgrown with shrubs. There are also sections near the waterfalls where it get wet and slippery. An enjoyable hike overall with great views and kids who are too small may it find it long.
A wonderful trail that takes you to the summit of Tai Mo Shan. Tai Mo Shan is the highest peak in Hong Kong and makes this trail a High traffic area. Locals are friendly and most speak a little bit of English. I would rate this trail easy and achievable by beginners as long as they set a pace and don't turn back. The views are wonderful and inspirational! This trail will be unforgettable! Enjoy!
