The Ng Tung Chai Waterfall hike in Hong Kong is an incredible jungle trail that leads you to multiple hidden waterfalls where you can swim!Ng Tung Chai is the most well-known and highest waterfalls in Hong Kong.

#favouriteitinerary #travelanywhere Ng Tung Chai Waterfall: A Wild Trek Through Hong Kong’s Jungle Deep in the New Territories, the Ng Tung Chai Waterfall hike offers a side of Hong Kong rarely seen—untamed jungle, cascading waterfalls, and a trail that challenges even the most seasoned hikers. What was supposed to be a straightforward trek quickly turned into an intense adventure through slippery rock paths, steep inclines, and breathtaking natural scenery. The journey began with a ride to Ng Tung Chai, where the trailhead welcomed us with a picturesque archway near a quiet temple. The initial path was deceptively gentle, winding past small trickling streams and lush greenery. But as we ventured deeper, the landscape transformed—thick jungle foliage closed in, tree roots twisted across the trail, and the humid air hung heavy with the scent of damp earth. The first waterfall, a modest yet beautiful cascade, was just a preview of what lay ahead. The trail only grew steeper and more rugged, with jagged rocks and moss-covered steps that required careful footing. Along the way, smaller pools and mini waterfalls appeared, each offering a refreshing escape from the relentless climb. Some were deep enough for a dip, their clear waters reflecting the dense canopy above. Pushing forward, we finally arrived at the most spectacular sight—the Main Falls. Towering and powerful, the water plunged into a deep emerald pool, its mist cooling the sweat on our skin. It was the perfect reward after the grueling ascent, a hidden paradise seemingly untouched by time. The return journey retraced our steps, though the descent proved just as tricky. The damp, uneven terrain kept us on high alert, and a careless step could easily have sent someone sliding down the slope. By the time we reached the bottom, legs aching but spirits high, the once-distant sound of rushing water now felt like a distant memory. What was meant to be a simple waterfall hike turned into one of the wildest treks we had ever experienced in Hong Kong—an adventure through raw, unfiltered nature, far removed from the city's towering skyline. #thingstodo #myitinerary #travel #naturalwonders #chinatrip #thingstodo

This road is gentle; but you can also go straight up along the steps. This is a wild road to climb up the slope. The end of the climb along the ribbon is the same as turning right (mistakenly thought to be the right turn route No, so I went back and took the wild road. It turned out that the intersection point was the same) 🔸After the waterfall〰️Top of Tai Mo Shan (MacLehose Trail Section 8): Uphill section, took about 1.5 hours🕑The first half is a dirt road + the second half is a cement road, the slope is gentle, and there is no shade throughout🔅 🔹Top of Tai Mo Shan〰️Country Park Visitor Center (MacLehose Trail Section 8): Downhill road, the first half is a winding cement road, the second half (after the 🅿️ parking lot on the way) can continue to go down the cement road or turn to the country trail to go down the mountain ⚠️The last section of MacLehose 8 80% of the country trail is a stone step down the mountain. The slope is acceptable but it hurts your knees. It takes about 40 minutes to walk slowly🕑 🌟The instructions for the entire route are relatively clear. When the route of the waterfall group is unclear, it is better to find the stone steps first 🙅It is not recommended to go down the mountain from Da Mao Shan to Wutongzhai. The slope of Wutongzhai Waterfall is relatively steep, the road conditions are wild, and there are great safety hazards ⚠️ps. The wind on the top of the mountain is strong🌬️Wear a windproof jacket🧢Wear a hat Wear long socks🧦Wear gloves🧤 There is no supply throughout the whole journey (only available at the tourist center), at least 500ml of water #trip ‼ ️It is not recommended to walk the Wutongzhai Waterfall section on rainy days, it is slippery and dangerous

Summer is hot, do we have to wait until autumn to continue hiking? In fact, as long as you choose the right hiking route, hiking and picnics in summer can be very relaxing and fun! This article introduces four types of places suitable for hiking in summer. Everyone should also do a good job of sun protection and collect information before setting off! Category 1: Beaches Hiking in summer is nothing more than cooling off in the water. If you want to enjoy hiking + beach, you can choose a beach that takes a while to reach. Examples are as follows: Pak Lap Bay (20-minute walk) Sai Wan (30-minute walk) Ham Tin Bay (60-minute walk) Category 2: Mountain stream + waterfall Mountain streams do not necessarily have waterfalls, and waterfalls do not necessarily exist in mountain streams. However, there are many places in Hong Kong where mountain streams and waterfalls coexist. The mountain stream is like a cooler hiking trail, but many accidents have occurred due to the slippery rocks. Newbies are advised to take the path directly to the waterfall. Examples are as follows: Little Hawaii Waterfall Wutong Village Waterfall Waterfall Bay Category 3: Small Hills Small hills are generally lower than mountain peaks. There are many hills in Hong Kong that are less than 100 meters high, and some are even very close to the city center. It takes less than half an hour to reach the top of the mountain. After going down the mountain, you can have a cold drink in a nearby restaurant! Examples are as follows: Pingshan Nammoshan (also known as Mount Gedun) Gezaishan Category 4: More shade Shade and dense forests are treasures for hiking in summer. Choose a route with more shade, and you won’t feel tired even if you walk for 3-4 hours. Examples are as follows: Yuen Tsuen Trail (lower half) Shing Mun Reservoir
