Route Description

This route gets a couples of name in Chinese (滅龍脊,金龍脊,錦龍脊). This route mainly lies on the ridge from Kuk Keng (鹿頸) to Sam A Chung (三椏涌). It covers the famous Tiu Tang Lung (吊燈籠) hill. The path is clear and very manageable. Guiding ribbons are available all the way through. Plants may get a little bit bushy somewhere between Location 4 and Location 5. Other than that it is an enjoyable leisure hike.
