About Me
After moving to Discovery Bay, on Lantau Island, Hong Kong, I am gradually filling out my knowledge of the extensive trail network immediately behind this beachside town. Maps of this area show far more trails than actually exist, so I am doing a lot of recon. hikes to find out which trails still are passable.

Very useful trip report for this interesting stretch of Lantau. I must start exploring that area more! Thanks for the details.

Thanks, bookwormhkhk and oxfeely! Yes, that is definitely a nice stretch on Lantau. As to trails or paths that vanish over time, I found quite a couple that were not there anymore at all, especially in the Chih Ma Wan peninsula, but also between Mui Wo and DB and other areas. Well, my map is from 2008, I should probably get the 2011 edition from the Agriculture and Fisheries department ...
