Route 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.

Here is another big deep pool. This pool is more open then the previous one but the size is pretty much same as the previous one. Water flows over a big and wide rocky wall into the pool. Obviously, it is a good place for swimming.
