| Route | D9 - Tai Tong - Ho Pui |
| Brief | Visit the Sweet Gum Woods in Tai Tong and stroll along the tree-lined path, which gives you a feeling of walking in a European-style garden. In winter, the woods become a popular attraction in Hong Kong when the leaves of the sweet gum trees turn red. Visit Kat Hing Bridge, take the forest track and the footpath on the right leading to Ho Pui Reservoir. With a grand S-shaped dam stretching on one side and a tranquil footpath surrounding it, the small reservoir is known for its natural and picturesque beauty. It was voted as one of the top ten scenic views of Hong Kong. The route finishes at Ho Pui Tsuen, with a slightly rugged uphill path in the latter section. |
