Trip Description
This trip is taken on a thunderstorm day. Here introduces
one of the biggest and most beautiful streams in Hong Kong - that is Sheung
Luk Stream which is very famous.
|
Location 1Description : We saw 4 consecutive Pools . The biggest one was the 4th one- with the Main Pool Falls of 30 ft high. The pool is big enough for you to have a good swim. Occasionally you may see some "brave" guys jumping down from the top of this falls. But I think it is dangerous to do so! |
Location 2Description : We reached the Thousand Silk Falls (¤dµ·Âr)at the altitude of 70m. This falls is a steep falls with a height of about 80ft. The flowing water is weak because there was a dam above it, which drains the water away. We climbed up at the right-handed side of the big falls. It was really an exciting climb on that thunderstorm day. |
Location 3Description : At the altitude of 80m, we met Ming Yau Falls (»ï«ÕÂr)of 30ft-high. The falls was roaring in a very short distance. |
Location 4Description : By going upstream, we encountered the most impressive falls at the altitude of 150m. It was the 100ft-high Chong Yau Falls (ÂëÕÂr)which was indeed very great and wonderful! No need to say anything after you see the following photos. |
Location 5Description : By passing through the famous "Stone Trail" (a narrow path parallel to the stream) , we arrived at the Black Deer Pool Falls. It was a 45ft-high falls. |
Location 6Description : Swimming in a pool is a "must" activity in trekking Sheung Luk Stream. This is Reindeer Pool (¶¶³À¼æ). |
Location 7Description : The 60ft-high Well Bottom Pool(¤«©³¼æ) Falls is situated at the altitude of about 230m. We climbed up on the right-handed side of the falls, seeing and listening to the roaring water flowing down into the hidden pool at a short distance. |
Location 8
Description :
The last falls is Ben Cho Falls (©b¼ÑÂr)of characteristic "L" shape.
If you were brave and fit enough, you might choose to climb on the
right-handed side of the falls and pass across the falls (Of course, you will get
totally wet) and get to the left-handed side of it.
