As most of my friends know, I LOVE being in the water. As such, I couldn’t miss out on the chance to go stream trekking when it was organised last Saturday by the hiking group I usually hike with. We went to Lantau and trekked along Shui Lo Cho (\u6c34\u6f87\u6f15) & Man Cheung Po (\u842c\u4e08\u5e03). The aim was to get to this pool so that we could go swimming. To get to the trail head, we first had to take Bus 11 from Tung Chung to get to Tai O, the fishing village.

\nFirst we had to dodge many spiders …. eeeekkksss!!!

\nThe first of many rock pools

\nWe make our way across the first waterfall and dip our feet in for the first time. It had rained earlier in the week so there was more water in the stream that day. The cool, clear water was so refreshing!

\nTurn back and you get a lovely view of the mountains.

\nThat’s me being helped across the stream.

\nLet’s pause for a picture before scaling the next waterfall!

\nWe finally reach our rest stop where we were to have a 1.5 hour break to have lunch and swim!

\nYes, the sign does say ‘NO SWIMMING’ and ‘DANGER’ …
\n\"Lantau<\/a><\/br>
\nBut we swam anyway! \ud83d\ude42 Who could resist not swimming in the world’s best infinity pool (to me anyway)???? I’m somewhere swimming … most likely at the edge admiring the gorgeous view of the mountains.

\nThere’s me bobbing in the middle of the photo. :p

\nWe also went to the other rock pool where it proved a good spot for a natural jacuzzi.

\nOn the way back to Tai O, we passed this abandoned villa that used to belong to a government official.

\nThe lily pond that sits in front of the abandoned villa. All these hidden spots in Hong Kong! Who’d have known??
\nThis stream trek and the swimming in the pool in that gorgeous infinity pool has to go down as my top ten moments in HK. I love being in the outdoors and I’m still constantly in awe by HK’s natural terrain and all the outdoor activities it has to offer. I know I’m going to miss this so much when I leave!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
