"Scenic south to north ridge traverse mostly on the High Junk Peak Country Trail with sidetracks to all the summits. Start: Po Toi O fishing village. Finish: Hang Hau MTR. Doing it that way round avoided walking into strong sun all day and meant no public transport hassle at the end on weary legs in sweaty clothes. (Alternatively a Po Toi O finish does lend itself to a nice meal in one of the seafood restaurants or a dip in the sea at Clear Water Bay second beach).
Reached the start via a number 16 light minibus from Hang Hau MTR http://www.16seats.net/eng/gmb/gn_16.html
Lost some time locating the bus stop (you need exit B1 and take the overbridge to Nan Fung Plaza building, plus note that the opposite direction #16 stops in the same place so check the bus indicator board)
Had a little wander round pretty Po Toi O which is a sleepy little fishing village. Some of Lara Croft Tomb Raider was filmed here back in 2003. http://saikung.com/welcome-po-toi-o/ Went back up the road to the trailhead then started up well constructed stone block steps. The High Junk trail is very good but bypasses all the summits. Off trail the going gets rougher e.g. scratchy vegetation on Tin Ha Sham ..." — davidb • Jan 6, 2020
