 Comment | This newly established hiking trail was thoughtfully designed to blend with the natural terrain, using local materials and avoiding concrete paving, thereby preserving the area’s original landscape. Instead of relying heavily on stairs, the trail features a zigzag (switchback) path, offering a more comfortable and natural hiking experience. Along the way, hikers are rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding scenery, including Sharp Peak, Long Ke Wan, Sai Wan Shan, and Tsang Pang Kok. The trail also offers a unique vantage point for appreciating the impressive structure of the High Island Reservoir East Dam from a new perspective. |
