Our first hike of 2026, and we are excited to get back into nature, and enjoy the glorious views and foliage in the cooler temperatures.
The Hok Tau and Lau Shui Heung Reservoir trail is a scenic, popular hiking route in Pat Sin Leng Country Park, featuring a 4.7-km, 2 hour loop around Lau Shui Heung and a shorter trail around Hok Tau Reservoir. It is a moderate hike, though with some steep sections and stairs between the two reservoirs.
