Route Description

This route cover Tai Om Shan and 588. Although most of the uphill journey is on the ridge, path below 500M are very bushy. Some portions are infested with thick bushes making navigation difficult. Some portions are cutting inside a forest. Guiding ribbons are sparsely distributed, you have to be very careful in moving along to avoid getting struck.

This part of the forest is relatively comfortable, no heavy blocking bushes.

Strong man trekking up among trees.

The descend route is slightly better. It is easier to follow. At this point, the muddy route becomes a cemented path. Just follow it, you will get back to the town with ease.
