The Stone Dragon Fall
Shek Lung stream is located above Ting Kau Village, it’s easy to find the starting point but exits can be a bit tricky if you ain’t familiar with the area and using maps or even your instincts.
How to get there!
*Take bus 234B from TsuenWan WEST MTR
* Or you can catch it from Fu Wah road if coming from Tsuen Wan MTR.
Take exit A- walk straight ahead passing by New town Mall and Nanfung Plaza entrances
The next bldg is Liksang Plaza and Fu Wah road is in between Nanfung and Liksang.
You can enter Liksang plaza, turn right and take the escalator down then turn right out to Fu Wah Road. You may also take bus 53 from here but the fare is higher.
Get off at Ting Kau( be ready to press the bell once you hear Approach beach, South Mt. Swimming association because it’s just a few meters away and the bus very seldom stops at SMSA.
From Ting Kau, please refer to the video!
Exits:
1. From the Stone Dragon Fall, you may retrace your way back( but that’s kind of boring )
2. From the top of the Falls, follow the stream and instict will tell you when to leave the stream(there normally are ribbons left behind by other hikers.
It will connect you to Yuen Tuen Ancient trail( this trail leads to Tai Tong or Tsuen Wan(the better and quicker option is Tsuen Wan if you don’t want to find yourself in the middle of nowhere)
3. In the video, I followed the path down to Tai Lam Chung jogging trail..
When you go up from the base of the falls, there are 3 forks to choose from.
*The right will lead you to a viewing spot which is worth to try before your exit.
The Tsing Ma bridge
* The middle one which is obviously turned into a path is my way out. (about 5-6kms all the way to Tsuen Wan.When I got to the water catchment , I turned left.
Watch out for the turning to Yau Kom Tau village then out to Belvedere Gardens on Castle Peak road where you can take buses to Tsuen Wan MTR( of if you have enough energy, then you can walk- like I did haha)
Or you can keep following the road until you see the stairs which is a part of the Yuen Tsuen Ancient Trail, walk down to the Adventist hospital, turn right , cross the road and take minibus 19 to Tsuen Wan MTR
or
just follow Tsuen King Circuit and get inside Discovery Park to cool down as you walk to the MTR(10 to 15 mins walk to MTR)
