WONG NAI CHUNG GAP RESERVOIR
This will serve the the 1st attraction of your journey and you can easily get by simply climbing the stairs next to the gasoline station next to the Hong Kong Cricket Club. Just walk uphill along the side walk of he main road and I'm certain that you won't miss this landmark because it the a cafe and boating area available.

Walk down the staircase and immediately turn left and you will find this sign post. You are now standing at the water catchment and that serves as your trail also.

In just a few seconds, this beautiful landscape will appear on the right-hand side.
This is really breathtaking on a cool and clear blue sky.

Rocky Road Ahead

Here's a bird's eye view of Repulse Bay Beach... Very inviting isn't it?

TWIN PEAK
The Twin Peak is located at Wilson Trail Section 1 and those building below will serve as your end point.

TAI TAK TUK INTERMEDIATE RESERVOIR
Just before you end your hike, this massive landscape will bid you farewell and imposingly saying "See you soon!" because exactly at point where I'm standing and took this photo...there are plenty of hiking route around and I'm sure you will keep coming back here! 

As for the end point, you will have to be at the bridge linking "Twin Peaks" and "Violet Hill". You may notice that there are 3 huge waste bins and that clear and natural downhill path along side of it is your way down towards the buildings that I mentioned earlier. The first building that will welcome you is Hong Kong International School (HKIS) which is exactly below the green railed staircase.
