ManCheungPo is one of the most famous streams in HK. This stream is easily accessible with majestic
waterfalls and big pools. There are several big pools sitting right there waiting for your enjoyment.
There is a small artificial reservoir in the middle of the stream. Basically, the portion of the stream
below the reservoir is call ShuiLoCho and the portion above it is named ManCheungPo. Anyway, we would
like to call the whole stuff collectively as ManCheungPo.
If you just want to enjoy the upper part of the stream, you can just take the short cut footpath on the
left hand side of the stream. That footpath is coloured in yellow on the map.
Some hiking materials rank this stream as 4 stars. It is because in the past, many by-pass footpaths
were much less developed. It was more difficult to overcome a cliff/waterfall then it is today.
After all, where is it? It is located in Yi O(二澳) which is next to Tai O(大澳) in Lantau Island.

After dashing over shallow water for about 10m, you'll be greeted by a magnificent pool. This is the first member of Three Stacking Pools(三疊潭).

After visiting the Three Stacking Pools, you'll come across several waterfall of different scale. At 130m, you'll find a reservoir, it is also the gate to the short cut footpath (indicated in yellow on the map); more importantly, it is also the heel of ManCheungPo(萬丈瀑). This big waterfall is about 70m in height. There is a footpath on the right leading you to the top of this waterfall. If you're an experienced rock climber, you can also attempt the rocky surface on the right of the waterfall.
BTW, the reservoir is also a water fun heaven. We are like swiming in mid air. If you are going to imitate, don't play this video.

At the top of the ManCheungPo, you'll meet another water fun paradise, The Nose Mucus Fall(鼻涕潭). It is clean, deep and fun. I'm sure you are admiring us on looking at those pictures.
There is a pyramidal hill on the top of the Nose Mucus Fall. The footpath on this hill will take you to ManCheungPo camp site and finally back to civilization.
If you are going to imitate, don't play this video.
