Trip Description This route gets a couples of name in Chinese (滅龍脊，金龍脊，錦龍脊). This route mainly lies on the ridge from Kuk Keng (鹿頸) to Sam A Chung (三椏涌). It covers the famous Tiu Tang Lung (吊燈籠) hill. The path is clear and very manageable. Guiding ribbons are available all the way through. Plants may get a little bit bushy somewhere between Location 4 and Location 5. Other than that it is an enjoyable leisure hike.

Location 1: Altitude 15M This is the starting point. The route shares with Family-Walk in the beginning.

Location 2: Altitude 95M Our journey separates from the Family-Walk here. Go straight up.

Location 3: Altitude 270M A placid bamboo forest.

Location 4: Altitude 300M We reached the Fire Lookout (山火瞭望台). There are some bellflower (吊鐘花) trees scattering around the Fire Lookout. Bellflower close up.

Location 5: Altitude 275M We are moving towards a valley. In wet seasons, this valley can be very slippery. You will find a muddy pond in the trough of the valley.

Location 6: Altitude 380M Moving towards Tiu Tang Lung.

Location 7: Altitude 310M Moving down hill from Tiu Tang Lung to Wu Kau Teng (烏蛟騰). The slope is quite steep and rocky. Have fun.
