Trip Description

Tsing Tam stream flows from the west of Tsuen Kam Au to Tsing Tam Upper Reservoir. It is a rather wide stream, however you cannot find grand view along the stream. There are no big waterfalls and cliffs. On the other hand, you will meet many relatively short and convoluting waterfalls. There are many small water pools, but they are not good for swimming. All those create a sense of placid for visitors. There are red ribbons along the stream to guide you through the journey.
