The MacLehose Trail is a famous hiking trail and is the longest hiking trail in Hong Kong. It is divided into ten sections, each ranging from 5 to 16 km in length.

[View] Although the landscape is not spectacular, it is very suitable for people who want to escape from busy urban life and occasionally want to breathe fresh air. Mountain climbing is medium difficult. There are various marks on the mountain to prevent mountain climbing from encountering emergencies and needing assistance.
The Mai Li Hao Trail is a 100-kilometer hiking trail that runs through the country park, and this ten-segment hiking trail spans the mountains, giving people an unforgettable outing experience and the fun of hiking adventures. The Macleod Trail in the New Territories spans most of the territory of the HKSAR, where we can see the most varied and beautiful countryside in Hong Kong. The trail starts in the rolling East Coast wilderness, midway through the continuous mountains, including Hong Kong's highest peaks, and finally reaches the fascinating valleys and ponds to the west.
The journey took about 8 hours and lasted 24 kilometers. Along the way, we have passed through Wanyi Reservoir, Langgawan Bay, Xiwan Mountain, Xiwan Village, Dalang, Chidao and many other places. Among them, the first section is Wanyi Reservoir and Langgawan. The road to the Dongba of Wanyi Reservoir is flat. It is not very difficult to walk. There are some mountain roads from Dongba to Langgawan, which are basically good to walk. After arriving at Langgawan, we can return to Dongba and take a bus. The second section is Xiwan Mountain, Xiwan Village, Dalang, Chijie and Beitanwa. Starting from Langguo Bay, most of the mountain climbing roads will be needed until the Xiwan Mountain, which is 314 meters above sea level. The whole journey is quite laborious and difficult. Later, when you go down the hill, you will encounter a fork road. One way is to Xiwan Road Bus Station, where you can take a bus back, which is the choice of most people. The other way is to Xiwan Village and Xiwan Beach, where you can continue the second leg of the journey. The Xiwan beach in Section 2 is a place where many people choose to camp. If they continue to walk, there is a mountain road ahead, and they need to climb a certain distance, but it is less difficult than before. Later, it is basically a flat road. However, it is also difficult to stick to it because of the great physical expenditure in the latter section. Along the way, although very tired, but along the way to enjoy the mountains, beaches, villages and other scenery, to appreciate the unique natural scenery and cultural imprints of Hong Kong, very touched, very shocked, it is absolutely worth the trip.
In Hong Kong, there is a famous hiking route, MacLeho Trail, which is 100 kilometers long and takes nearly 40 hours to hike. Taking Beitan Chung in Saigon as the starting point, bypassing Wanyi Reservoir, it crosses the New Territories from east to west, and takes Tuen Mun as the terminal point. It is divided into ten sections. There are road signs every 500 meters along the way. MacLeho Trail crosses eight of Hong Kong's 24 country parks. It is said that the first and second sections of the road are the best. I called my friends to take the first and second sections on foot. At 10:00 a.m., Causeway Bay Hotel set out to take a taxi to Beitan Chung, Saigon to start our self-abuse journey [snickering] by car for more than an hour to Fei Hong Kong. About 250 yuan, arrived at Beitan Chung at 11 o'clock. There was no water supply on the first and second sections of McLehao Road. We bought water at the gate and started [grinning our teeth]. The first 10.5 kilometer trip mainly revolved around Wanyi Reservoir. The road was very good and there was a car. We walked for about 2.5 hours.
It is introduced that Diamond Hill Station is a 96R bus. It comes first on Sunday. The usual way to reach Diamond Hill Bus Station is to take 92 to Saigon and then transfer to No. 94 bus to Beitan Chung starting point. We took the first, second and second sections from the starting point. We traveled 40 kilometers. It was dark for nine hours. It was very tiring, but the scenery along the way was beautiful, so we didn't go there. After the second section, there happened to be No. 94 bus to Saigon. It was very convenient to receive the blog.
