January 26th: Kadoorie Farm

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,

We will go to Kadoorie Farm this Friday.  The Taiwan cherry and the Apricot blossom are in bloom.  We will walk up to the top of the hill towards TS Woo Memorial Pavilion to see the flowers and walk over to the Kadoorie Brothers Pavilion via the Sky Trail (if the trail is open and if the weather is OK) and then walk down .  This will be a 3+ hours walk.

To go to Kadoorie Farm, we will take KMB bus # 64K. 

You can get on the bus from Yuen Long West Bus Terminal (about 40 min) , Tai Wo Station (about 15 mins) , Tai Po Market Station (about 30 min) , Kam Sheung Road Station (about 20 min) .  So choose where you want to board the bus.  The station where you should get off is Kadoorie Farm.  The time in parenthesis is the time it takes to go from that station to Kadoorie Farm.

If you get on the bus at Yuen Long or Kam Sheung Road , the stop before Kadoorie Farm is 淩雲寺.  If you get on the bus at Tai Po or Tai Wo, the stop before Kadoorie Farm is  牛欄窩. 

The Kadoorie Farm opens at 9:30 am.  Visitors aged 60 and above can enter free.  Others will need to pay $30.

Meeting time:  9:30 am

Meeting place:  Ticket office inside Kadoorie Farm

The forecast is for a few light rain patches in the morning.  So bring rain gear and sun block, plenty of water and camera.   If you should want to buy farm produce, please remember to bring a shopping bag.
