New Territories - Wilson Trail - Stages 6 & 7
The Wilson Trail is a 78 km long-distance footpath in Hong Kong, only 15 km run through non-park countryside or other areas. It was named after David Wilson, Baron Wilson of Tillyorn, who was Governor of Hong Kong from 1987 to 1992. The trail is aligned north-south and runs from Stanley, in the south of Hong Kong Island to Nam Chung, in the northeastern New Territories. This stage of the Wilson Trail was completed in December 2010. For nature lovers, stage 6 is a great chance to see a number of Hong Kong`s wild monkeys in their natural environment. Stage 6 has a couple of steepish climbs, but along with stage 7 is fairly easy. To start stage 6, catch the MTR to Cheung Sha Wan and catch bus 72 from Castle Peak Road, alighting at the Kowloon Reservoir stop. For further information, click here.
