Beautiful hike starting in "Sai Wan Pavilion" (Saikung) and ending at the "Pak Tam Au" bus stop.
We took the MTR to Hang Hau station, used the exit B and turn left to get to the bus terminal.
From there we needed to take the "101M minibus" to reach the "Saikung Bus Terminal".
Once we arrived at the "Saikung Bus Terminal", we walked a few minutes to get a one of the green taxis which brought us to the "Sai Wan Pavilion" (about a 30 min ride for approx. $140 HKD ).
Please note that there is almost no phone reception at the Pavilion.

The hike was made more difficult by the heat and sun. Only about 40% of the trail has shade……sunscreen, hat and lots of water are a must!
On the way there are 2 possible areas to stop and buy food and drink while being on the way, "Ham Tin Beach" and "Chek Keng".
When arriving at the end of the trail, at the "Pak Tam Au" bus stop, we booked an Uber/Taxi (alternatively we could have waited for the bus). Phone reception was good at the bust stop. Taking an Uber/Taxi or the bus depends on your destination.
