Story:
A hike that takes us into the Hong Kong Ti Tam Country Park. It takes us along a  lliving complex then into a family park with lots of picnic tables and playgrounds. Then it takes us along the shore of one of Hong Kong engineering marvels, built in the 18xx the Tim Tam lake is an engineering achievement which created a beautiful sweet water lake used to feed the Hong Kong drinking water pipe system. After the lake we continue on a paved trail with lots of branches going into the bush around it. This time we fallowed the bush trail to Quarry Bay which takes us into a story from WWII when Hong Kongians built bomb shelters out side the city to protect from the Japanese invasion. Along the trail you will find field stoves used to feed the people in these shelters. The trail will then take us back to the city.
Tips:
To get to the trail's head take bus #6 to Stanly village from Central main bus terminal, then watch your GPS or ask your driver to tell you where to get off the bus.

The trail ends 400m from the Quarry Bay Subway station.
