Hong Kong is better because it is active and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle. There are still many country parks that do not hike trails, which can let urbanites rest and breathe fresh air😬 Yuen Tsuen Ancient Road is one of the easier places to get to and with many beautiful flowers!! ️ 🛎️Transportation: Arrive at Tsuen Wan MTR Station, change to any bus🚌 (such as 39M, 30X) to Hong Kong Hospital. Get off and follow the big ramp in Figure 4 up Yuen Tsuen Ancient Road, as its name suggests, can walk into Yuen Long ~ the total length is 15 kilometers, I think the average person will not walk the whole way ❌, because this countryside trail is better in each part / different sections have different views. You don't have to walk to see what you want 😅😅 Today we focus on the flower viewing part. Flowers are mostly found here in Tsuen Wan. Once you go up, you can see many kinds of flowers. 1) There is the bauhinia on the Hong Kong 1 dollar coin, 💜 2) There are red dragon boat flowers, ❤️ 3) There are bright purple wild peonies, 🟣 4) There are five-star flowers, ⚪️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5) There are chrysanthemums and 💛🌻 6) There are azaleas and so on ~ 🌷 Famous flowers🌺 are countless, if you have time you can slowly enjoy one by one👀, if you walk fast and don't want to walk the whole way, you can go down the mountain in Sham Tsai, eat roast goose🪿 and go back to Tsuen Wan!! ️ #SpringGoods2024 #MothersDay2024

⭐Yuen Tsuen Ancient Road Countryside Trail 📍Tsun Wan ⬇️⬇️⬇️ My boyfriend and I went hiking on the Yuen Tsuen Ancient Road Countryside Trail recently when the weather was nice. Although this is a simpler hiking route, there are many ramps, for beginners will have a little snack power, but not difficult at all. The route is not too long, about 3 hours walk, enough water and food 😁 Best of all, there are beautiful landscapes with lots of green trees, grass and mountains. There is also a beautiful sea view to see halfway through, which is very therapeutic. 😍 The end point is Sham Shui Po, you can eat the roast goose before leaving, but we were in a hurry and did not eat it😂 I have the chance to go again next time!

There is a scenic hiking trail from Tsuen Wan to Yuen Long. In fact, you don’t need to hike all the way to Yuen Long. It takes about 3 hours to walk from Tsuen King Circuit in Tsuen Wan to the section in Sham Tseng, and you can already see the beautiful scenery. The route is to go down the mountain from Qingkuaitang halfway to Shenjing. There are many shade trees in the middle, which is suitable for hiking in autumn or winter. In autumn, Qingkuaitang has more beautiful red leaves. But please note that there are many stairs up the mountain, which will be very strenuous in hot weather #Hong Kong Good Places #Local Tour

#greentourism #greenlife #greentravel The Yuen Tsuen Ancient Road Countryside Trail connects Yuen Long and Tsuen Wan, offering beautiful views of Tsing Yi, Lam Baler Strait, Ting Kau Bridge, Tsing Ma Bridge and Lantau.

The hiking section, Yuanquan Ancient Trail, is a very quiet mountain trail. Not only is the ups and downs not too big, but there are also shady trees and gurgling water along the way, and there are not many tourists. You will feel as if you are in the mountains, missing the elegant people and nostalgic for the past. #Yuen Tsuen Trail #Local Tour #Yuen Long #Hiking #Hiking #Outing #Historic Trail #Tai Lam Country Park

This time, I will introduce one of the most popular hiking trails in recent years, Thousand Islands Lake in Hong Kong. I hiked here from the entrance of Wong Nai Tun Reservoir. The route is easy to walk and you can enjoy the scenery of Yuen Long along the way. If you visit on a free day, there are fewer tourists and you can check in slowly😍. However, if you visit on Sunday, it will be extremely crowded and it will be difficult to get a private spot on the observation deck to check in🙃. After the tour, if you want to go hiking again, you can leave from the Yuanquan Ancient Trail. #localtour #check-in-place #hiking #HKThousandIslandsLake #YuenLong #hiking #WongNaiTunReservoir

Not only did we get to see breathtaking views of HK from up top, but we also caught sight of Shenzhen from afar 👀 and even time-travelled back to the past when passing by an abandoned school Although it was pretty tiring climbing all the stairs and walking up the steep slopes, the scenery that we saw was definitely worth every single drop of sweat 💦 #行山路線推介 #登山 #本地遊 #naturalwonders

This time we introduce the most popular photo spots located on Yuen Tsuen Ancient Road, the Stone Dragon Arch and the abandoned school building next to it. For the route of Yuen Tsuen Ancient Road, you can see my previous article. Walk straight up Yuen Tsuen Ancient Road for about two hours to reach the Shek Lung Arch Pavilion, then turn right to reach the top of Shek Lung Arch. You can even wish to visit the Tsing Ma Bridge! Fortunately, the weather was nice that day, and if it was foggy, I would have seen so far! Then walk along the Yuen Tsuen Ancient Road towards Tin Fu Tsai, and you will see this abandoned school in Lotus Hill. The school and the stone stairs next to it are a popular photo spot. In summary, this route is very suitable for beginners. #hiking route recommendation #countryside #local tour

This time we introduce a BB-level hiking route, the Yuen Tsuen Ancient Road Country Trail between Tsuen Wan and Yuen Long. Last week, the Lunar New Year holiday coincided with many holidays, so we went hiking again. It was a rare good day. We started from Tsuen Wan Hong On Hospital and walked down the mountain in Sham Shui Po. The whole journey took four hours. This route is very friendly to new hikers as it is mostly stone steps, however there is no resupply throughout, so be sure to bring plenty of water! We walked back to Sham Tsai that day, but we can still continue via Yuen Tsuen Ancient Road down to Tai Tong. You can choose where to go down the mountain depending on your ability and where you want to have dinner. #hiking route recommendation #countryside #local tour

Tsuen Wan Yuen Tsuen Trail, go up the stairs from Hong Kong Adventist Hospital or Tsuen Leung Garden, the entrance is very clear and you can see it. You can also eat delicious roast goose when you exit Sham Tseng. The whole journey is about 9k, most of which is paved with concrete. It is good to walk slowly with your family. You can see Tsuen Wan West and Tsing Yi along the way. The scenery is quite good. #Good Places to Go in the Countryside #Outdoor Activities #Good Places to Go Outdoors #Hiking #Yuen Tsuen Trail

This time I went out in Tai Tong, first to see the pseudo-red leaves, then slowly walked the Yuen Tsuen Ancient Road. It was crowded, so it was important to be cool today, but it didn't hurt the mood of hiking. Although it was quite a few hours of walking, the difficulty factor was low. So it’s very comfortable and you can take photos and check in. If you are a group, you can bring more food to a picnic, ha. But remember to remove your own trash. #countryside good places #local tour

Transportation guide - Take bus 39M from Lo Tak Circuit, Tsuen Wan, and get off at the last 2 stops at Hong Kong Adventist Hospital. You will see the starting point of the ancient trail. Keep going up the stone steps, and there will be pavilions for rest every 10-15 minutes. You will also see wooden houses where people live and some where people grow crops. It takes about an hour to reach Shek Lung Arch, where you can overlook the Tsing Ma Bridge. The open view makes you feel relaxed. Go forward another 10 minutes and you will reach the local scenic spot - the abandoned school on Lotus Mountain and the stone slide. If you come here at night, you will be scared to death. 😂 If I went further, I could go to Sham Tseng or the end point of Yuen Long, but I chose to return. Food and Restaurants - There are no shops along the way, so remember to bring water. #Good Places to Go in the Suburbs

With the arrival of spring, you may have seen many bright flowers such as cherry blossoms and hydrangeas, but have you ever seen the rare Hekkwa flower? Recently, this unique flower was discovered hanging from a tree on the Yuanquan Ancient Trail. Its special shape and clusters of flowers resemble birds resting on the tree, making it a highly valuable sight to behold! Recently, a big tree on the Yuanquan Ancient Trail has grown many Chinese Violet flowers. The flowers grow on each flower cluster, forming a spectacular Chinese Violet waterfall. The unique shape, combined with the green and yellow flowers, feels like a bunch of bananas or a flock of birds, with a very special posture. In addition, Chinese Violet flowers are not common in Hong Kong, so they have attracted many passers-by to take pictures and leave memories for them! Chinese violet, also known as oil vine, blooms from March to April each year. It is famous for its cute bird-like appearance. Its bell-shaped calyx is the "head", the upper lobe is the "wings", and the lower wing lobes and the middle keel lobes are the "body". Recently, a "white Chinese violet" was discovered on the Yuan Tsuen Ancient Trail, which is a local native species and also a rare and endangered species. Currently, it can only be seen in a few specific places in Hong Kong, and is therefore listed as one of the 100 rare and precious plants in Hong Kong by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department.
