13th January 2017: Lung Mun Country Trail

The Fridayhikers are a group of friends who go hiking for leisure. Depending on the weather and road conditions, the hiking route may be subject to change without prior notice. Participants joining the hikes do so at their own will and at their own risk. They may consider buying their own insurance for better protection. The hike leaders, the organizers and any other participants in the hikes are exonerated from any liabilities and claims as a result of any accidents or losses arising.


Dear Fridayhikers,

With the New Year coming soon, most of us may be busy.  So I've changed my mind and instead of going to Lantao, I've picked a city route for this Friday.

The Lung Mun Country Trail goes from Chuen Lung to Shing Mun Reservoir Pineapple Dam.  It is 8 km and the hike will take 3.5 + hr.   You can start at either end but the gradient from Shing Mun Reservoir is less steep.

If you start at Pineapple Dam, walk up as usual until you reach "C3410".  Instead of continuing around the reservoir, you take a left turn and you will reach the Chuen Lung Country Trail.   Keep going west and at the end of the trail you will reach Chuen Lung village and come out to 荃錦公路. There you can either take the minibus or KMB 51 back to town.

Meeting time:  9:15 am

Meeting place:  MTR Tsuen Wan Station Exit B


Please bring water, sunshade, raingear and snacks.

The hike will be automatically cancelled if there is thunderstorm or rainstorm warning, or if less than three hikers register.

If there are only a few hikers, and if you are not sure of the trail, you can always opt to walk around the reservoir instead.

I may not join you tomorrow so have a happy and safe hike !
