This time,
we had a tough small group which gave a good reason to cover both the vehicle roads of Sai Wan and Man Yee.
Drizzles were with us now and then. Yet, the hottest and toughest part of the trek was the scorching sun. Not
having been to Sai Wan Shan for quite some time, it's a surprise to find two newly built pavilions.
Nonetheless, the bigger surprise was to come across 3 pale bikini ladies who were of fashion models' figures.
Soon after the first pavilion, we left the main trail for Cheung Ngam Teng [長岩頂]. The day was too hot to go
up Tai Yue Ngam Teng [睇魚岩頂], I'd rather spend more time enjoying the sea breeze at the tip of the Tsang
Pang Kok promontory. A large clump of soaked and decaying sheets and mattresses were found near the Tsang Pang
Kok Teng [罾棚角頂], not far from the trigo. pole. Everyone of us wondered if those were left behind by IIs ...
but then why would they choose to bring those bulk items to such an unsheltered place? A large surface of
weathered bare rock lied in a valley facing the solitary Conic Island [飯甑洲]. Several anglers whiled their
time away on the northern part of it, as yachts and boats sped passed the strait and the ocean. A greyish band
of mist at the horizon blended the sky with the sea. Columns of hexagonal rock pillars formed the coastal
cliffs, somewhat like those at Po Pin Chau [破邊洲] .
Leaving the promontory after lunch, we descended to Long Ke Tsai [浪茄仔]. It looked picturesque from afar. At
a closer look, disappointment filled my heart to see lots of rubbish with PRC brand names being washed ashore.
Why is 'she' sending us rubbish and IIs? Even the cigarette packets found at different places of this trek were
of PRC brand names. Long Ke Campsite was crowded with campers. A few offenders even built make-shift BBQ stoves
on the white sandy beach with large pebbles, urgh! Detouring off the road on East Dam, we went down to the
coffer dam, with a quick look at some rhyolite pillars beside the road at the pond. They're twisted into wavy
patterns. Reaching the end of the dam, we slithered around the high fence to join the hillpath of Fa Shan [花山
]. Clambering up to the knoll off Po Pin stack, we finally came to the edge of the precipice above the strait.
The fabulous scene of sheer cliffs of Po Pin stack was unforgettable. Retracing the path to the junction, we
ascended a spur of Fa Shan for a level path which brought us to a pebble laden beach, it was named Seven Layers
of Rock Beach [七重石灘] because of the different types of pebbles, each forming a separate layer. Within the
same bay, there're two small beaches, the sandy one is called Pak Lap Tsai [白腊仔]. On the other side of the
shrubbery pass was Pak Lap Village. After having the papaya sweet soup at its store, we went uphill taking the
long and boring Man Yee Road in the dark. Unhired taxis passed by in both directions, hoping that we'd take
them.
