Section 7 of the Hong Kong Trail begins with plentiful shade from trees, but as you continue along this trail, the scenery gradually opens up. Following the Tai Tam East Catchwater, the stunning views of Tai Tam Harbour and Red Hill Peninsula slowly unfold before your eyes. Along the catchwater, you will pass the junction of trails leading to To Tei Wan and Obelisk Hill where there is an obelisk without inscription. Consider spending an extra half hour climbing up to explore Obelisk Hill before returning to the catchwater and continuing towards To Tei Wan. As you reach the final stretch of Section 7 of the Hong Kong Trail, the scenery of Lan Nai Wan Village presents itself—take a moment to appreciate the simple and peaceful rural lifestyle here. Although most of the trail follows halfway up the hill and is not particularly difficult, once you leave the catchwater and approach the end, the trail becomes increasingly steep, adding a bit of challenge and excitement to this section! Looking down at Tai Tam Bay from the uphill trail, the water is crystal clear, with weekend visitors enjoying various water activities that add life to the tranquil bay.
