Gon Pak Stream Trek

Gon Pak Stream, also known as Gan Bei/Bai,is an infrequently visited stream due to its remote location in the far western side of the New Territories.

It lies in the valley between Lau Fau Shan, Yuen Tau Shan and Por Lo Shan.

The trek starts at a place called Pak Nai at Nim Wan Road. You can enjoy your time here without worrying about bumping into a big crowd of noisy people.

It’s calm and quiet and most of all, you’ll never find any rubbish here that I honestly hope you will feel guilty to leave even your apple peel and egg shells.

To get there:

Inform the driver that you will get off at AP TSAI HANG.

This is a long ride and it will cost you HK$11.90.

If you live in Tin Shui Wai or Lau Fau Shan, look for it’s stop there.

Once you get to Nim Wan Road, politely remind the driver again to drop you off at Ap Tsai Hang.

This is where you should stop! The entrance is just a few meters away from the toilet.

At Ap Tsai Hang, you will expect to see a seafood haven.

Explore and you will see what looks like a sandy canal, (right beside the toilet) that’s where you start, or you can go further on the road to enter the stream on your left side.

When you arrive at the stage where the stream splits in 2 directions, you must follow the right turn.

The water flows more abundantly than the left one.

For easier exit turn left when you see this tree..

Then head slowly to the right,finding your best way to avoid the grown bushes

At the very top, you can have a glimpse of the Por Lo Shan(the mini Grand Canyon of HK) and Castle Peak too from afar. Look down to the town where you will be going to and you will see the path on your right. There is a big stone there that will serve as your landmark.
