AP LEI CHAU CHANNEL AND AP LEI PAI

Easy as it looks, this trail is consist of two amazing hills and beautiful scenery, this trail is special and some parts requires rope which is why some Hikers installed ropes on some section, but as for me and my personal safety I wouldn't put my trust on some other people's set-up. This trail is also pretty good to take Sunset photos.

This is the first section of your hike and this hill is called AP LEI CHAU CHANNEL, again this trail is very easy to venture even if your a beginner level hiker.

MAIN ENTRANCE/EXIT
This is located in front of the bus terminus and this yellow cubicles are the reporting stations of the bus drivers at AP LEI CHAU Bus Terminus.

As you get to the main trail this are all natural trail to consider and you won't get lost here because this is the favorite hiking location of the residence here.

This is what will welcome you on some sections of the trail...a rope! like I said I would put my life safety on other people's set-up. If you can't resist using it, be sure not to put 100% of weight.

AP LEI CHAU CHANNEL SUMMIT

AP LEI PAI
After reaching the summit, this is going to be the next stage of your hike...the tiny piece of land linking this 2 section is very good pit stop for a swim before or after hiking at Ap Lei Pai.

Deciding whether if I'm going to take a dip...
