Hong Kong Trail (Section 7) begins with plentiful shade from trees. After walking for about 2 km, the scenery gradually opens up and the views of Tai Tam Harbour slowly unfold before your eyes. Continuing along the trail for another 700 m, you will reach a junction near distance post “H075” that leads up to Obelisk Hill. Consider spending an extra half hour climbing up to explore Obelisk Hill. "Tai Tam Inscriptionless Obelisks" are a pair of obelisks with similar appearance, overlooking Tai Tam Harbour. They are Government Historic Sites identified by the Antiquities and Monuments Office. It is believed that the pair of obelisks were erected between late 1890s and 1900s. The obelisk in the north stands on Obelisk Hill whereas the one in the south is at the foot of Pak Pat Shan at the opposite shore. A story goes that the two obelisks were erected by the British Royal Navy as navigational aids to mark a course which cleared a patch of rocks lying across the entrance to Tai Tam Bay. Ships could then safely sail through Tai Tam Bay into Tai Tam Harbour. Furthermore, it is believed that the obelisks were also used for swinging ships. After viewing the Tai Tam Inscriptionless Obelisks, return along the same path to the catchwater and continue for about 1.5 km, where the scenery of Lan Nai Wan comes into view. Continue for a further 2.5 km to To Tei Wan. From here, climb a flight of steps of about 400 m up to Shek O Road, which marks the end of Hong Kong Trail (Section 7).

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of Hong Kong Trail, public can participate in the “Unlocking Hong Kong Trail” hiking challenge from now until 28th February, 2026. Participants can first register at the event website: www.unlockinghktrail.hk, then visit the eight sections of Hong Kong Trail. To “unlock” the checkpoints and collect e-badges, participants should scan the QR code at the checkpoints using smart phones and answer a question about the fun facts of Hong Kong Trail. Participants may be awarded a commemorative prize if they have completed all eight checkpoints during the event period.

_{To facilitate the public in planning their hikes, the geographical information of the route, including the route map, starting point, endpoint, and elevation chart, has been saved in a "GPX" file. The public can download hiking-related applications on their smartphones or smart watches, then click on the following "GPX" file to import the relevant information, which serves as an aid for hiking. Please note that downloading "GPX" files may increase data usage, and the functions and content display may vary depending on the device and application used.}
