This section of Wilson Trial starts at Tai Po Road, with distance post W061 and finishes at W069. After crossing the road using the flyover, walk along the path beside the road and then you will reach the gate and taking the sharp turn to go uphill.
A bit tiring but the way is well-paved with steps so taking rest along the way it is not that difficult. Soon the way becomes flat and you will walk along the perimeter of the hill, making good time with nice shades so quite cool even in summer.
Then the trail joins into Golden Hill Road, and turning right to continue for a short while on the concrete road.
Soon you will reach a branch with steps leading up. You will not miss the big plaque memorizing the opening of the trail by Lord Wilson in 1996. Taking this path to continue the ascend.
There is a spot in which you will see a good view of Kwai Hing and Tsuen Wan, and even the Ting Kau Bridge in the distance.
With some small streams on the way, this section of the trail is easy and very soon you will arrive at Shing Mun Reservoir.
Walking on the main dam of the reservoir, the calm and pristine reflection from the surface will bring comfort and relaxation, and that finishes this trail. If you do not want to continue Section 7, you can walk back from the dam towards Pineapple Dam to take public transport home.
