Relaxation
Ng Tung Chai: take refreshing waterfall hike among the foothills of Hong Kong's highest peak
-
About 7 km
-
About 3–4 hours
-
Difficult
Written by South China Morning Post (Morning Studio)
The spectacular waterfalls comprising Ng Tung Chai Waterfalls — Bottom, Middle, Main and Scatter — lie in the foothills of the 957-metre-high Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong’s tallest peak. The soothing sight and sound of the relentless, ever-rushing waterfalls will have a calming effect on even the most restless of minds. Standing beneath these craggy, lush-forest-shrouded waterfalls — offering a stunning backdrop to photographs and videos — serves as exhilarating, sometimes hard-earned rewards after escaping the frantic-paced city for a few hours, and winding your way along the sometimes steep and challenging trail to reach them.
Refuel
There are no official places to refill water bottles or buy snacks along the route once you leave Tai Po. So bring enough supplies for a challenging uphill hike, or collect provisions at a convenience store near the MTR station before you board the bus.
Transport
Getting to Bottom Fall
From MTR Tai Po Market Station, you can walk to the adjacent bus terminus to take bus 64K to Yuen Long. Alight at the Ng Tung Chai stop and follow the signs to the falls, and past the monastery to a crossroads. Stay left and you’ll soon reach Bottom Fall.
Leaving from Scatter Fall
From Scatter Fall, take the path until you reach a small ridge. Stay right on a path that hugs the side of the hill until you reach a fork leading off to Tai Mo Shan on your left. Take the steps down to the right instead, and you’ll come to a familiar junction. Turn left and head past the monastery again to Ng Tung Chai Road and the bus stop beyond where you can take bus 64K back to MTR Tai Po Market Station.
