Trip Description
ManCheungPo has two main sources, the right one is ManCheung 9 bends.
The upper part of the Mancheung 9 Bends runs through an abandon farm, the water is very clean.
The 9 bends is usually considered as a separate stream from ManCheungPo because normally people
won't visit both ManCheungPo and the 9 bends in a same day. If you do, it would be too hurry to
enjoy the great beauty of the streams. Moreover, the atmosphere of the 9 bends is somewhat different
from that of ManCheungPo main stream.
This picture is an overview of the convoluting ManCheung 9 bends.
