Duration:
2.5 hours
Difficulty: 4/10
Cel phone coverage: Everywhere
Water needs: 0.5 liter
Appreciation: 6/10. The Tao Fong Shan Christian Centre is ok, not much of a view from there actually. The Chinese University of Hong Kong's grounds are very nice. Short walks. You can go straight to Chinese U if you want a relaxing hour in a nice setting. Maybe a picnic?
Transportation: Shatin MTR, Exit B for the Tao Fong Shan Christian Centre, and University MTR Exit C for Lake Ad Excellentiam
Why it's worth it:
---------------------------------------
 |
| For the Tao Fong Shan Christian Centre |
 |
| Make your way to Shatin MTR station, Exit B, turn left as you come out |
 |
| Go to the end (basically, follow the crowd) and down the ramp, to the right |
 |
| After the ramp, turn-left... |
 |
| ... and back in the same direction you came from, but next to the ramp |
 |
| You'll arrive at a signpost, about 30 seconds later which points the direction to To Fung Shan. Climb up the stairs next to the white building on the picture |
 |
| Right. Always go right basically |
 |
| After about 15 minutes walk, you'll get to this roundabout. Head right on 'To Fung Shan Road' |
 |
| Another 5-10 minutes farther, you'll see these stairs with a gate. Gate is open, climb the stairs, it is a shortcut. |
 |
| Arrived |
 |
| When you are done, just retrace your steps back to the MTR |
 |
| Take the MTR to University station (2 stops away from Shatin), exit C |
 |
| Just follow the path along the football field |
 |
| There you go, Lake Ad Excellentiam. Velly pletty... |
