石崗 Shek Kong
Ho Pui Reservoir in Tai Lam Country Park, Pat Heung, Yuen Long, is a small mountain lake feeding northwest New Territories fields. High water reveals submerged forests and islets like an emerald turtle. The easy, level muddy trail ends at a rare S-shaped dam blending artificial and natural beauty, with a 17.4m outfall and watery oasis. Nearby campsites and organic farms make it family-friendly for nature escapes.

Discover Yuen Long’s stunning landscapes on the Tai Lam Chung Country Trail, starting near Tai Lam Tunnel. Climb past eroded slopes for sweeping views of plains, villages, and reservoirs, ending at the historic, century-old Kat Hing Bridge—a perfect spot for reflection amid merging streams.
Kap Lung Ancient Trail, named after historic Kap Lung Village (over 200 years old, now just 2 households), once linked farmers from Pat Heung and Shek Kong to Tsuen Wan Market. This well-preserved granite path, shaded by woods and seasonal flora, offers a lush, cool summer hike with some stone steps—overall an easy and refreshing walk.
19th-century Hong Kong photos reveal barren mountains, stripped of greenery. Post-WWII large-scale afforestation introduced fast-growing exotics like drought-hardy Paper-bark Tree and soil-enriching Taiwan Acacia to combat erosion. Both thrive along the scenic Twisk Nature Trail loop from Tsuen Kam Au, where you’ll spot camouflaged Stick Insects, Golden Orb-web Spiders, and stunning volcanic views of Tai Mo Shan from the helipad.
