石壁 Shek Pik
The trail starts at Wisdom Path in Ngong Ping, featuring 38 giant wooden pillars etched with Professor Jao Tsung-I's Heart Sutra, offering escape from urban hustle. Descending westward from Lantau Peak, it views Shek Pik Reservoir and risky Kau Nga Ling. Spring bursts with colorful hawthorns and rhododendrons; summer adds blooming cherries, homaliums, and sterculias. Ending in a decades-old slash pine forest by the reservoir, it prevents erosion near Shek Pik Catchwater, aiding island water supply. Built in 1963, the reservoir—ringed by Kau Nga Ling, Keung Shan, Muk Yue Shan, and Sze Tse Tau Shan—ranks third in capacity, fed by numerous streams.
