Ngong Ping Trail (Village Section) is a circular path starting at Ngong Ping Nature Centre. After walking past the old tea garden, where the Wisdom Path, a landscaped installation of 38 massive wooden pillars arranged in the pattern of the infinity symbol, is seen not far away. The wooden columns, inscribed with the original calligraphy featuring the Heart Sutra from world-renowned sinologist Professor Jao Tsung-I, are infused with religious elements and blended perfectly with the rural surroundings. Ngong Ping Plateau is humid and foggy all year round. Its fertile soil nourishes a great variety of wild plants. Along Ngong Ping Tree Walk, native plants including rare and unusual species, such as Smooth-leaved Sweet-leaf and Chinese Eurya, are introduced.
