Geocache Description:

The cache is a small magnetic, only enough for log sheet.


Hung Mui Kuk Nature Trail is located inside Lion Rock Country Park. The trail is about 1.3 km in length and the time required to finish is about one hour. The trail features 15 scenic spots, introducing the plants, biochemical phenomenon, geological composition, neighbouring regions and the facilities along the trail.

The first stop - Hung Mui Kuk Barbecue Area - features several common native trees. This open space lies on the edge of the city, so traffic noise is sometimes audible, but as you go deeper into the woods, all you can hear is the sweet sound of insects and birds. The shielding effect of trees is evident. On this trail, you can learn about the symbiotic relationship between algae and fungi, and about the primitive bryophytes. Lion Rock and the surrounding region are granite country. Rock joints and cracks are visible everywhere. Some distance ahead, the catchment path displays a panorama of Shatin. The last stop is Amah Rock. This famous landmark of Shatin is a tor created by weathering along rock joints. However the scientific explanation will never beat the legend behind it, one that tells of a young woman pining for her husband's return.

Follow the sign, uphill about 30mins, you will reach the famous Amah Rock.
