This last section of Wilson Trail has the distance post from W127 to W137, and unlike the official rating of 4 star, I would say is one of the easiest section, as the trail is almost all downhill and the general conditions of the trail quite good.

The start of the trail connects begins from the junction with the steps leading up to Hsien Ku Fung. Continue along Pat Sin Leng Nature Trail, the trail is quite smooth and along the way you will also see the beautiful Chinese New Year flowers in the right season. 

Arriving at this junction, take the left branch to continue towards Luk Keng and Nam Chung.

Soon there are some old, torn down buildings, which marks the historical village of Lower Wang Shan Keuk.

Continue along, most of the trail was stone paved ancient trail, allowing one to make good progress. 

Then you will pass two bridges. First is Wang Shan Keuk South Bridge.

Followed soon by Wang Shan Keuk North Bridge.

Continue on soon you will reach Tsat Muk Kiu. 

Then you will see a sign leading to Sir Edward Youde Memorial Pavilion. Although it is not on the trail, it is worth taking a slight detour to go there to take a look.

At the pavilion, you can have a good view of Nam Chung, and further out to Sha Tau Kok, with the high Ng Tung Shan in the background. 

At Kiu Shan Bridge, you can see the beautiful Ping Ka Stream below, with crystal clear water. 

Soon the trail becomes concrete road, and there is also a helipad on the side. Going up to take a look I was surprised to see someone parking their car and made a camp. Very irresponsible and selfish people.

When the trail meets South Bay Road, that signals the end of this section, and you have finished the 80 km long Wilson Trail.
