We'll probably hike another 'combination' trip before the week is out. Uhm.. I am looking at both the Double Dragon Stream and Lantau Trail Stage 2 (via Sunset Peak - Hongkong 3rd highest mountain @ 869m elevation). Let's see how we can combine these two together.
First, we'll take NLB bus No. 3M from Tung Chung to Nam Shan, then hike a small section of the South Lantau Country Trail (towards Pak Kung Au direction) until we hit the middle-section of the Double Dragon Stream on the trail. We'll start from this part of the stream (approx. at 260m) and trek up the rest of the stream which ends at about 525m where we will hit Lantau Trail Stage 2 near Sheung Tung Au, from there we will hike to Yi Tung Shan and then to Tai Tung Shan aka Sunset Peak. To end this hike, we will most likely continue on Lantau Trail Stage 2, the easy way out (from Sunset Peak to Pak Kung Au on Tung Chung Road).
Besides the exit at Pak Kung Au, there are two other alternative ways we might consider, one is to back-track to Sheung Tung Au (after visiting Sunset Peak and all the unique stone houses) and take the tedious 'knee-breaking' 2.3km Wong Lung Hang Country Trail all the way down to Wong Lung Hang Road (from 690m descend to 80m). Two, a less trodden, nonetheless tedious way is to take the 'unofficial' (definitely with overgrown vegetation) footpath (hopefully one can find it) from Sunset Peak(869m) to Shek Sze Shan(338m) , then to Wo Liu Tun(324m) and finally exiting near Lung Tseng Tau Village. These two ways sound really tough! We'll give it some serious thought before venturing into it. Till then!
