Tiu Keng Leng -> Yau Tong
Many hiking trails snake around the urban areas. In the old days, people used to hike across the hills between Tseung Kwan O and Kowloon. Today, these trails are once again open to explorers and exercisers alike. This tour begins in Tiu Keng Leng, and terminates in Yau Tong, passing several summits along the way.
