Information of the trail from To Tei Wan to Tai Tam Gap :


At Shau Kei Wan(筲箕灣) bus terminal (near MTR Shau kei Wan station), I with my friends took a bus no. 9 (to Shek O / 石澳) to the starting point - To Tei Wan /土地灣.
It takes 15 minutes to the starting point by bus.
Dragon's back is at the Hong Kong Trail stage 8.
I did not completed all stage 8, I quited at the location near Tai Tam Gap Correctional Institution Society's Guardians (大潭峽懲教所親子中心), and took the bus no. 9 going back to Shau Kei Wan.
It takes three hours to complete the route below(Time for taking photos is included).
Shau Kei Wan bus Terminal --- by bus(no. 9), 15 min. ---> To Tei Wan bus station--- on foot ---> Shek O Peak (Hong Kong Trail Stage 8) --- on foot ---> Shek O Road near Tai Tam Gap Correctional Institution Society's Guardians (大潭峽懲教所親子中心), --- by bus (no. 9), 10 min. ---> Shau Kei Wan Bus Terminal
