Route Overview

Tai Mei Tuk Bus Terminus → Pat Sin Leng Nature Trail → Pat Sin Leng → Lai Pek Shan → Wong Leng → Hok Tau Reservoir → Cloudy Hill → Cloudy Hill Sky Stairs → Yuk Sau Fung → Hong Lok Yuen → Tai Po Tau Road


【Start】 Set off from the Tai Mei Tuk Bus Terminus and walk along for about ten minutes to reach the Plover Cove Country Park – Visitor Centre. From here, hop onto the Pat Sin Leng Nature Trail. This initial section is quite shaded, making it a perfect warm-up. You’ll find several info boards along the way introducing local natural phenomena and flora, so you can pick up some facts while soaking in the greenery.
Keep heading up the nature trail until you cross the small bridge at Wang Chung Stream—it’s a great spot for a breather where you can enjoy the peaceful sound of running water. Continue further to reach , which commemorates the two teachers who heroically gave their lives during the 1996 Pat Sin Leng wildfire. The view here is incredibly open, offering a panoramic look at and the Plover Cove Reservoir, making it a prime photo op.


【Mid-section】 Moving on from the pavilion, you’ll hit the first peak of the 『Eight Immortals』—. There are quite a few stairs on this stretch, but the stunning views make the grind worth it. From there, you’ll traverse the ridge, passing through , Kwai Li Fung, Kao Lao Fung, and the rest of the eight peaks. While the distance between peaks isn’t huge, the terrain is quite rugged, so watch your footing. Once you reach the highest point, , take a moment to rest and enjoy the scenery. Descending from there leads you to Lai Pek Shan, another ideal spot for photos. Continue toward Wong Leng; though this part of the path is relatively flat, the ground is heavily weathered, so be extra careful with the loose trail conditions.


【Finish】 Next, head down the scree slopes toward Hok Tau Reservoir. This section is fairly steep and might require a bit of scrambling, but the vistas are spectacular. Once you hit the reservoir, it’s a good time to refuel and hydrate.
From the reservoir, follow the trail up toward Cloudy Hill until you reach the infamous Cloudy Hill Sky Stairs. This part is a real vertical challenge that tests your stamina, but the view from the summit is world-class. Heading down the 『stairs』, you’ll pass Yuk Sau Fung, which offers equally beautiful scenery. Finally, follow the path down toward Hong Lok Yuen to reach Road, marking the end of this epic hike.

The path hits several major highlights, including Hok Tau Reservoir, Ping Fung Shan, Wong Leng, and the eight main peaks of Pat Sin Leng. Each of these eight peaks is named after the 『Eight Immortals』 of Taoist lore: Shun Yeung, Chung Li, Kao Lao, Kwai Li, Tsao Kau, Tsao Wo, Sheung Tsz, and Hsien Ku.
