Tuen Mun Trail to Lam Tei Resevoir

On a Sunday, few weeks ago, we explored the recently famous family hiking trail, the “rainbow railings” along Tuen Mun Trail and took the route to Lam Tei Reservoir. 


The starting point is at the Maclehose Trail Endpoint, which is near the Ho Fuk Tong light rail station or Tuen Mun Town Plaza. Take a deep breathe and here we go ! Slowly hike up the stairs, enjoy the city view of Tuen Mun along Tuen Mun. 





Honestly, the rainbow railings are alright, snap a couple of photos but it’s just... railings. What excites us are the route to Lam Tei Reservoir. We took a detour, lead my experienced friends. Please do follow the signs and cemented roads towards the reservoir. 





Route: Ho Fuk Tong light rail station  > Ho Fuk Tong College > Maclehose Trail Endpoint > Maclehose Trail Sec 10 > Tuen Mun Trail > Yuek Mung Yuen > Tuen Mun Trail Dec 2 > Fu Tei Barbecue area > Lam Tei Reservoir > Fu Tei Road 

^ we then walk back to San Hui Station along castle peak road, passing Ling Nam University, Fung Tei Garden. 


Difficulties: ⭐️⭐️ (certain level of physical strength is required for going uphill, many stairs at the beginning of the hike) 

Scenic: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Average time: 3.5 hours

Distance: 9.6km 

How to get there: 

- Tuen Mun MTR station, walk or take the light rail and get off at Ho Fuk Tong Station. 


If you had enough after the route ends at Fu Tei Road and walk about 10 minutes more ... hop on to MTR station near Lingnam University OR buses to Tsuen Wan/ Kwai Fong/ Mongkok at Brilliant Garden. 


📍Wear masks at all time if you are outside .. or just mark this down so you could go when the whole virus thingy go away.

Balance beam 6. “A” wall  7. Spider webs  8. Barbed wire  9. A frame  10. Log jump Kids love every bits! Well, almost every single one except the mud pit which got them in a little bit of a sticky situation. There are moments which I’d love not to forget, moments that my kids made me so proud of myself as a mother 😂  We joint the open category for age 4 to 6, which K is 6y2m and D is 4y8m. They have been quite an active kids, of course I have no doubt in their capability to finish the challenge. However, they do surprise me with their team spirits and sharpness at taking down each obstacles.  K shows her determi...

Tips: Hiking

Hiking with kids can be tough but we did it anyway, because it’s one of the best way to show kids the right way to care and love the nature. Of course, there are times where kids get worn out, feel bored or throw tantrums; but they develop new skills like observing plants and livings in nature, experience independence and trained physiques when they spend time outdoors.  However, heading into the nature with children requires some planning and prep;  1. Right clothing and gear. Layers of clothes so you could adjust for changing temperatures, weather and condition. Closed-goes shoes that fit well. Accessories like hat and sunglasses  2. Stock up your backpack.  Filled up with snacks for kids (something they’ll look forward to), plenty of water, sunscreen and bug repellent. Consider to let your young children like mine (4.5yo and 3yo) bring 1 of their favourite toy if it makes them feel better about the hike. And not forget the first aid kit stock with bandage, bite an...

The old school playground - Holiday Farm

Proclaim: I am not advertising for them, I am not paid to do this. This is just my review, my sharing, my experience.  Note: Mask on face at all time! Even when we are doing activities. Be safe, and don’t give a reason for these facilities to be forced to close too.  Holiday farm is a family run, educational and interactive farm situated in Sheung Shui. It promotes green culture and environmental friendly lifestyle hence being there do make you feel closer to the nature; especially with their originality on play equipments. Last holiday, we took kids to Holiday Farm. Honestly, it’s an exciting place to be, we have a wonderful day, from 10 to 5pm 👍 Kids love everything they saw! The treehouse slides, the horses riding made with recycled materials, the barrel slides, the “carpets” slides, each of these gave so much fun and create unforgettable memories.  The activities are divided into 2 categories, the generals (include botanic gardens, boat through the pond, rickshaw, gr...
