March 7th: 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,

In anticipation of drizzly weather, I've chosen Kadoorie Farm for this Friday's walk.  Although the hanging bells are no longer blooming in Kadoorie Farm, there should be camellia and other nice spring flowers.  We will walk up at least to one of the twin peaks.  Hikers who walk fast and want to walk more can go to both peaks before coming down.  There is a cafe in the farm which serves vegetarian food or you can go to Lam Tsuen or Tai Po for lunch as you please.

Walking up and down takes 3 to 3.5 hours. 


Meeting place:  Exit C at Kam Sheung Road Station of West Rail

(We will take bus 64K Tai Po bound to the Farm.  Those who are not meeting at the West Rail Station can meet at the ticket office of the farm at 9:30 am) 

Meeting time:  9:15 am

There is a washroom at the station BEFORE the turnstiles, and washrooms are available in the Farm.


For other information related to Kadoorie Farm, please check their website which also provides a printable map.

If you are interested in buying vegetables and eggs and other produce, please remember to bring your own shopping bag. 

As usual, bring water, snacks, umbrella, sunscreen, etc. for your well-being and comfort.
