This is one of the easiest section of MLH Trail, with mostly downhill and well-paved concrete trail. The distance post starts at M156 and finishes at M168. After alighting from the bus, the entrance is near the Twisk BBQ Area.
Throughout the trail there are good tree shades, so even in summer it is not too hot.
Along the trail there are not that many great sceneries, but you can catch glimpses of Shek Kong.
As well as Tsuen Wan and all the way to HK Island under good weather visibility.
After a while there is one major branch, with one route heading to Lin Fa Shan. But we should take the other route to Tin Fu Tsai instead.
Continuing on you will see in the distance Pat Heung, with the train depot a clear landmark.
Then will come to an area where there are lots of monkeys, and that means you are near Tin Fu Tsai. Follow the signpost and continue straight.
On the way you will also see the Tin Fu Tsai North Mountain Bike Trail.
Coming to a fork in the trail, the left path will lead to Yuen Tsuen Ancient Trail Country Trail, and so taking the right path instead to continue towards the destination. There is a sawdust toilet close to completion for trial, trying to address the lack of sewage and electricity in the country park. Hope this is a success and can scale up in other country parks to facilitate hikers.
Soon you will reach the end of this section, and one can either continue towards Tai Lam Chung Reservoir on Section 10, or go downhill towards Sham Tseng. It is important to bear in mind this section, to include in the route planning, in consideration of your stamina and supplies.
