Hiking Log: Ho Sheung Heung to Ping Che (河上鄉 至 坪輋)

This is a route I learned from an online forum. It is near the Hong Kong and China border
and the scene is great. First we went up the 184m Tai Shek Mo hill. Down from the hill
we crossed the Ng Tung River. Then we simply follow the old military road along Cham Shan
(115m), Wa Shan, Tsung Shan, and end at Ping Che.

從一個網上新聞組得知有這樣一條路線. 首先由河上鄉登上184米高的大石磨, 從這裡可望見深圳市.
下山後過梧桐河, 經虎地坳, 再踏上舊軍路沿杉山, 華山, 松山, 至坪輋為止.

Looking at Shenzhen from Ng Tung River (在梧桐河上可望見深圳) The Ng Tung River used to bring flood to villages in the pass (過往梧桐河曾經多次泛灠) Those pipes bring fresh water from China to HK (這就是輸送東江水的水管) g6/60/37160/3/81469061.6N8UlH89.jpg
