\u201cSkyward Crocodile\u201d of Tsuen Wan on MacLehose Trail Section 9"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This location along the MacLehose Trail Section 9 has the somewhat unusual name of \u201cthe Crocodile.\u201d\u00a0 The locals call it the \u201cSkyward Crocodile\u201d and I am not able to find its English name.\u00a0 Nor is there an explanation for why it is named as such.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Located west of Tai Mo Shan, the Crocodile lies on an altitude of 559 metres.\u00a0 The walk is easy, however, because entering from Route Twisk you would already be on a high altitude to begin with.\u00a0 The site presents excellent views of northwestern New Territories.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I went on a Monday morning, and there was no one there.\u00a0 I basked in the glorious sunshine for a good half hour there.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The Trail<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most of the walking is on MacLehose Trail Section 9 in Tsuen Wan.\u00a0 At the Tai Lam Country Park Twisk Management Centre entrance, I began the walk on MacLehose Trail Section 9.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-7335 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a

justify;\">By public transport, I believe the only bus that goes through Route Twisk is Route 51.\u00a0 Get off at the Tai Lam Country Park Stop and the entrance to the MacLehose Trail Section 9 is right there.\u00a0 Do watch out for the bus schedule, especially that during the fifth wave of the pandemic in Hong Kong some bus routes have been suspended.\u00a0 Finally, Route 51 runs very sporadically, perhaps only once in an hour.\u00a0 Therefore be sure to check out its schedule.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full
