Hike: Tai Po Kau Forest Hike (Yellow Trail 10 km & Blue Trail 4 km)

Difficulty Level: 3 out of 5

Distance: 14 km (approximate)

Time: 5 hours (approximate)

Description: Join us for an exciting day at Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve, where we’ll hike a total of 14 kilometers by combining the yellow trail and the blue trail. The yellow trail covers 10 kilometers and takes you deep into a vibrant subtropical forest. You’ll walk beneath a beautiful canopy of banyan and camphor trees that create a calming green atmosphere. After completing the yellow trail, we’ll tackle the blue trail, a 4-kilometer loop that’s perfect for getting up close with the reserve’s diverse plant and animal life. Both trails offer a chance to spot various birds and enjoy the peaceful surroundings away from the city.

What to bring:

• 2-3 liters of water (water available for sale along the way)
• Snacks to eat along the way (sandwich, fruits, nuts, etc)
• Comfortable shoes
• Sunglasses
• Headgear (cap/hat)
• Sunscreen
• Bug Spray
• In case of Rain: plan accordingly

Toilets: The Tai Wai MTR station will have a toilet before you exit the turnstalls.

Stores: The Tai Wai MTR station will have stores for you to buy any last minute items. It is best to come prepared with water and snacks.

Meeting Point: Tai Wai MTR - B. Once everyone arrives, we'll take bus 72A and alight at Chung Tsai Yuen. If everyone agrees for the faster option, we can opt to take a taxi to the trailhead.

Time: 10:00 am (SHARP!)

IMPORTANT: Out of respect to the members that arrive on time, we will only be able to wait a maximum of 5 minutes. Should you arrive after 10:05 am, I will no longer be answering phone calls or responding to messages as I need to give my time and attention to those that have arrived on time.
