Tai She Teng (大蛇頂) is located is the South West side of Highland Reservior, between the West Dam and the East Dam. It is not a very high peak, but it is ready the highest in its vicinity. Thus it gives quite a good view for the Highland area. It is however, the path is rather brushy, it does not look like any main-trial.

This is the top of Tai She Teng (大蛇頂). After some slight enjoyment, we came down on the original path back to Location 2 and moved south to Pak A Teng (北ㄚ頂) along the ridge. There is a small footpath on the map at about 170M that lead to Pak A Teng. That path does not practically exist in my last visit.

According to the map the footpath should eventually bring us to Chong Hing Water Sport Centre, however, the indicated footpath seems to have deeply buried by brush. So we followed the ribbon signs to leave. This picture shows where we joined the main road.
