Route Description
DaDao Ren is a very long mountain ridge with no shelter all the way through.
It normally takes hikers about 5 hours to complete.
It has remarkable beautiful views on both sides of the ridge.
In hot seasons, you must prepare a lot of water. I am sure you need it.

This is the south entrance of Da Dao Ren. The entrance is directly opposite to Kadooire Farm(加道理農場). At the time of this writing, the entrance looked like a construction site.
As you walk inside, all of a sudden, the foot path looked vanished. The correct path hides in
the grassland behind the power tower.
However, there's an easy path. Just walk towards Tai Po along
'Lam Kam Road' from the contruction site entrance for a short distance, you will
then see an obvious footpath and a somewhat hidden signboard on your left side. This is
the entrance of the main footpath towards Da Dao Ren. Notice that the '?' mark on the
map just indicates the signboard.

Before you get to the ridge, you have to overcome a looooong flight of stairs. There are altogether 842 steps waiting for you.

If you look at this picture carefully, you can see the grass was blown very hard by strong wind from your right.
After several hours of long walk, you may probably meet a honey store on the road side.
That honey store offers natural honey drinks. Give yourself a nice treat after the long hike.
