We disperse by bus or ferry from Mui Wo. There is an option to stay for a relaxed Chinese dinner in Mui Wo after the hike.

DESCRIPTION:
The walk is around 8kms on concrete paths and fairly
well- made tracks, mostly contoured, but with some inclines. It will take about 3 hours of walking and once started there are no easy exit options except to complete the walk.
We will walk from Pui O across the neck of Chi Ma Wan peninsula to Shap Long San Tsuen and then to Mui Wo by the coastal route. There is a good chance to see feral cattle, flowers, butterflies and attractive coastal scenery along the route.
