I went stream trekking along Double Deer Stream in Sai Kung last Sunday. It was an awesome hike and I’ve concluded that Sai Kung is one of the most beautiful areas in Hong Kong. Here are some snapshots.


Campers at the beach where we started our hike


The first rock pool we came across along our trek


Two of the guys scaling the second rock pool along our way


If you look carefully you can see me making my way across the rocks in my red bikini towards the jumping spot


I can never back away from such challenges. So I stepped off the cliff that was about 10 metres in height without spending too much time up there thinking about it. The more you stand up there to ponder, the worse it becomes. So off I went and screamed my way down. But man, those few seconds were liberating!!!


Scaling up the rock wall. There’s me in the black top carrying the orange backpack.


The easy part of the trek


Our lunch spot. Most of us couldn’t resist taking a dip in the pool. I swam under the waterfall too and had a bit of a natural jacuzzi!


Scaling another rock wall with the stream to the right

And we are rewarded with a view after reaching the top


Making our way across a tricky part


This jump – only about 1.5 metre – was a piece of cake compared to the one I had done earlier!


Enjoying a bit of a massage by the cascading water


Ah, how nice…our very own private pool! We were sharing it with some fish as well!


The rolling green hills of Sai Kung and the sea beyond. Breathtaking.
