This section of Wilson Trail is easy to walk, with distance post starting from W047 to W060. Starting from Tsz Wan Shan (North) bus terminus, there is a flight of steps leading up, and after a long flight heading towards Temple Hill Kwun Yam Buddhist Temple, you will reach Shatin Pass Road. On a good day you can see from here the Kowloon side and further out HK Island and the Victoria Harbour.
The official start of the trail is at the Lion's Pavilion. This part of the trail is concrete road so it is straight forward, offering little challenge to even the novices.
Soon there is a branch and taking the dirt road to continue heading into Lion Rock Country Park, you will begin to see the Shatin area, and further out Toro Harbour in the distance. This section is also easy.
Then the trail joined the catchwater and the trail remains flat and very easy. Making good progress on this section, looking up you can see the famous Amah Rock too.
Nearing the end you will start to see monkeys, with quite a large amount of them sitting on the rails, or actually jumping into the catchwater to swim and play. On the day I also saw a wild boar, which looks intimidating, but just being careful and not provoking it you can safely walk past without any issue.
Then the trail ends at Tai Po Road, and across the road is Kowloon Reservoir. From here you can take public transport to Cheung Sha Wan.
