The Tai Mei Tuk Family Walk

 The Tai Mei Tuk Family Walk is a treasure trove.  The 40-minute loop takes one through four vista points with exceptional views of the Pat Sin Leng (the Ridge of the Eight Immortals) and the seas of Eastern New Territories.

The Trail

The trail begins with some steps up and that is where you can clock in some exercise.

Very soon you will come upon the first viewing point with views of the Plover Cove Reservoir and its main dam, plus the mountains on the east:

Keep going, and at the second viewing point come with these views:

How to get there

If you go by private car, park at the Tai Mei Tuk parking lot outside of the barbeque area.  By public transport, bus 75K runs from Tai Po Market Bus Terminus.  Minibus 20C also runs from Tai Po Market to Tai Mei Tuk.  Get off at the Tai Mei Tuk Terminus.

Keep going through the Tai Mei Tuk barbecue area, and the entrance to the trail is on your left across from the YHA Bradbury Jockey Club Tai Mei Tuk Youth Hostel.  That is before heading up the slope to the Tai Mei Tuk Main Dam.
