barking at the last stop, Sai Wan Ting; or take a taxi ($110). From the exit in Pak
Tam Au, minibuses go back to Sai Kung.
Bride's Pool - Lai Chi Wo (-; 4½ hours)

huge Hakka village backed by an ancient 'feng shui' wood. Bride's Pool is a pool
hemmed in by rocks below a waterfall. Route: Bride's Pool - Wu Kau Tang - Sam A
Tsuen - Lai Chi Wo - Fan Shui Au - Bride's Pool Rd. At the bus terminus at Tai Po
Market MTR station, catch bus 75K to Tai Mei Tuk terminus, and from there, cab it

Shing Mun Reservoir Trail (3 hours)
This easy 9.5km trail loops around Shing Mun Reservoir, passing a dappled country
park and a valley with a gushing stream, into silent, almost magical, paper-bark
forests. Take minibus 82 to Shiu Wo St (Tsuen Wan) and walk 20 minutes to Pine-
apple Dam. Go back the same way.
