Lung Ha Wan Country Trail
| Lung Ha Wan Country Trail is well
equipped with recreational facilities . The route is easy to
plan and very suitable for citizens with a hectic urban life
and hiking beginners who want a half-day getaway trip. Lying
along the east coast of Clear Water Bay Country Park, which
sticks out into the sea, the Lung Ha Wan Country Trail
brings magnificent vistas of mountains and oceans together
and it is not physically demanding. When you finish the
route, not far from the finishing point, you will come
across the Lung Ha Wan Rock Carving at the cliff. The rock
carving, with patterns of birds and geometry and
approximately 3,000 years of history, was discovered by
tourists in 1978. |
The whole journey is 6.5
kilometers and takes about 3.5 hours to complete (including
take photo and break time).

| It takes about 20 minutes to walk
from Tai Au Mun bus stop to the parking lot. Go to the right
and there is a toilet. If you don't need it, you can go
straight up in the direction of the arrow in the picture and

Country Trail |
| You need to climb the stone ladder
for 30 minutes, which is somewhat difficult. |
| Halfway through the mountain, you
can already see the sea and mountains, and Po Toi O is in
the middle of the opposite bank. |
| The beach on the right in the
picture is the Clear Water Bay second beach. |
| Continue to climb, the friend in
front used two trekking poles. |
| Reaching the top of the mountain,
and the entrance to the top of the mountain happened to be a
hole surrounded by trees. |

Tung |
| You can see different islands,
large and small, and the name of each island is also
introduced on the viewing platform. Although today's haze
affects the viewing, it also adds a bit of mystery. |
| This rock is a popular photo spot. |
| Many people like to stand on this
rock and
take pictures. |
| After passing the top of Tai Leng
Tung Mountain, the road behind became much easier. |
| The seaside village is Tai Hang Hau
Village. |
| Looking towards the sea, you can
see all kinds of islands. One of them is called Green Egg
Island. You can guess which one it is, and the answer will
be revealed later. |
| There is a "tortoise" and had to
admire the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature. |
| Enjoy the beautiful scenery while
walking down the road. |
| This island is Green Egg Island.
Because its center is covered with green plants, it looks
like an egg with green egg yolk, so it is called Green Egg
Island. |
|
When you see the racecourse, it means
the end is
not far away. |
| Down the mountain, you can continue
to the direction indicated by the signs on the Lung Ha Wan
Country Trail to the racecourse and the kite field. |
| This time we chose to go directly
from the small road on the left of the toilet to the main
road. |
| When you come to the main road, you
need to walk for 40 minutes to get back to the Tai Au Mun
stop. You can also choose to call a taxi. This time we chose
to walk out. |
| After walking for about 10 minutes,
notice that there is a road leading to the Lung Ha Wan Rock
Carving on the right. |
| Go down the stone ladder. |
| Discovered in 1978 by a group of
hikers, the Lung Ha Wan Rock Carving is located on a
vertical face of a badly weathered boulder facing east. The
design shows geometric patterns, some may resemble stylised
animals or bird forms. There is though another school of
thought suggesting that it is purely the work of nature.
While this academic discussion still continues, the rock
carving, or pattern, has been protected under the
Antiquities & Monuments Ordinance. This would allow the
opportunity for it to be further studied.Rock Carving at
Lung Ha Wan was declared a monument in 1983. |
