🌊 Take the time to enjoy the natural surroundings.

The ascent offers wonderful panoramic views stretching as far as the eye can see, from Hong Kong Island to Shenzhen. It is also worth making stops at Shap Long Irrigation Reservoir Dam and a small yet quiet beach near Wang Tong.

And for the perfect finish: by reaching Mui Wo, there are plenty of dining options, from local food stalls to modern cafes, for you to put the calories back. (It is a well-earned meal though!)
