Hiking: Sam A Villiage, 30 March 2008 organized by Biliba
Nice hike organized by Biliba. Ten people turned up on a nice day for hiking.
Descrption: We will take a taxi from Tai Po Market to Wu Gao Teng Village (烏蛟騰 ) and start hiking there. It is a two-hour scenic (but no shade and will be very hot if it is a sunny day) route. When we arrive at Sam Ya Village, we can have lunch there. After lunch, we will take another route to come back to Wu Gao Teng Village (烏蛟騰 ) where you can take a taxi to go to the city centre of Taipo.
