Shing Mun Valley Taking a Circular Route Around Shing Mun Reservoir
Shing Mun Valley Taking a circular route around Shing Mun Reservoir, this hike offers beautiful scenery and clear direction signs. Walking up from the minibus stop, watchout for vehicles on the road. After passing the grass-covered dam, and then the main barbecue areas of Shing Mun Country Park, you should turn onto the Shing Mun Jogging Trail. The Jogging Trail is level, easy to walk along, and has wonderful views across Shing Mun Reservoir to the woodland slopes rising up to Tai Mo Shan. Turn left when you leave the footpath onto a forest trail, and you will find a pavilion downhill at a short distance. The picnic site here has spacious grassland, and makes a fine place for friends to enjoy time together. Farther on is the well-known Tai Shing Stream. This watercourse, with its ample water flow, is the main stream of Shing Mun valley - and nowadays it is the main source of water for the reservoir. This area has many luxuriant Paper-bark trees, whose straight trunks and peeling bark make the woodland here particularly attractive.
