Me and my fd took 3 hrs in total, walking from Pak tam au, all the way to sharp peak, with those photo shooting and resting. It’s an advanced level hike, so do prepare proper shoes, and enough water. And I’ll say it’s better if you train a bit before do this, the way up needa climb, way back kind of shuffling. Despite of this, view was soo nice, enjoy the hike;)

The MacLeHose Trail is one of the four long distance trails in Hong Kong. It is 100 km and made up of 10 sections that pass through a variety of coastal, mountainous and forested scenery across the New Territories. National Geographic recognises the MacLeHose Trail as one of the World's 20 dream trails. The MacLeHose Trail opened in 1979 and is named after former governor of Hong Kong, Sir Murray MacLeHose. He was responsible for establishing the Country Parks of Hong Kong Ordinance in 1976 and was an an avid hiker as well. Of the ten different sections of the MacLeHose Trail, one that makes for a particularly popular day hike is Stage II, a 13.5 km trail that links Long Ke to Pak Tam Au in the Sai Kung East Country Park. The route can be hiked by way of taxi transportation from Sai Kung village to the East Dam of the High Island Reservoir. This is near the end of the Stage 1 and includes an interesting area to visit some of the geological highlights of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global GeoPark before starting the Stage 2 hike. The trail passes through rolling hills, beautiful coastline and isolated beaches at Long Ke and Tai Long Wan, including the Sai Wan beach and village where you can take a break for a light bite to eat or drink at a beachside restaurant. It then turns west crossing more hilly areas, a bit more coastline and past interesting abandoned hamlets before finishing at Pak Tam Au. From here you can catch a couple of bus routes south back to Sai Kung village or call in a taxi to come pick you up for a ride back to the village. The trail is moderately difficult and can be completed in approximately 5 hours. However, given the number of quality stops and viewpoints, you may want to allow 6-8 hours to complete Stage II of the MacLeHose Trail.
