From Tuen Mun’s So K

From Tuen Mun’s So Kwun Wat Tsuen, taking the Maclehose trails sec 10, follow the signs to Thousand Lake / Reservoir Islands Viewpoint. We drove to So Kwun Wat Tsuen, where parking spaces are offered by the villagers for a price ($70 to $100). From here, it’s all paved road for about 45mins to 1 hour where you’ll reach a viewpoint with signboard showing another 1km to Reservoir Island viewpoint and a cubicle toilet next to it. If you’re travelling with young children or strollers, this may be your endpoint for the hike. But if you want a better view! Keep going, the remaining 1km are pretty straightforward in the woods, there’s a clear path, just watch out the roots and rocks. When you see the signboard of Thousand Lake/ Reservoir Islands viewpoint, the stairs are right next to it, just climb up and keep walking. You’ll know when you arrived. * Distance: approx. 7.7km round trip * Altitudes: 296m * Time: approx 2 hours 40 mins * Toilet: Public toilet before the starting point at the village; then cubicle toilet after an hour walk * Difficulties: ⭐️⭐️ (although mostly paved road, but it’s ascending/ inclines like 80% of the time) * Scenic: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ X #hongkongkids #familyhiking #hikingkids #familytime #hongkongmoms #hikinghk #nature #hikingtrails #hiking
