Hiking Date: 15 July 2016, Friday

Hiking Route: Tai Mo Shan Hiking Practice Trail and Family Walk (about 2 hr)
                        The Hiking Practice Trail is an easy walk located inside the Rotary Park. According to                         "Hiking Practice Trail Information", walking uphill is easier than walking downhill as                          certain skills are required to walk downhill: one may use the footprints along the trail                          to practise the down hill method---zig zag method turning to the right and left                                      alternately.
                         The Family Walk, mostly paved with pebbles, is also an easy route, located inside                                the Rotary Park. Along the walk are trees such as Taiwan Acacia, Sweet gum and                                 Pine etc, a good place to learn about the common trees in the countryside of Hong                               Kong. On a clear day, one can look across to Tsuen Wan, Tsing Yi and the outlying                               islands.

Meeting Place: Tsuen Wan MTR exit A

Meeting Time: 9:10am (bus will arrive around 9:23am)(kindly note that the next bus would arrive one hour later)


Reminder:   please bring water, some snacks, hat, umbrella, mosquito repellent etc.

Cheers,
