Yellow Dragon Stream
This waterfall hidden away in the depths of Tung Chung will require some agility and rock scrambling, but most visitors with moderate hiking experience should be able to tackle it without a problem. What we like most about it is that it’s just a short three-kilometre hike, though most of it will be over rugged terrain and streamside trekking, so you’ll want to come prepared with the right clothing and shoes.
Previous hiking groups have left ropes for climbing around the rocks, but we strongly suggest to double-check their condition before you use them. You’ll pass through several small waterfalls and pools before you reach the main falls, so you’ll want to save your swimming and river-bathing until you get to Yellow Dragon Waterfall and the “three dragons” beyond it—Left Dragon Waterfall, Right Dragon Waterfall, and Dragon Tail Waterfall.
How to get there
- Take the Tung Chung line to Tung Chung Station (Exit A).
- Take Tak Tung Road and make a left on Shun Tung Road.
- Continue down Shun Tung Road and make a right on Yu Tung Road.
- Hang left on Chung Yan Road and you will soon spot Wong Lung Hang Road on the left.
- Continue on Wong Lung Hang Road all the way to the end of the road. Do not take Wong Lung Hang Trail.
- At the end of the road, go left on the slope down to the stream.
- Right into the stream, you will see a dam on the right and one on the left. Go right.
- Climb the dam, then the ladder to bypass the water pool.
- Continue down the main stream until you reach Yellow Dragon Waterfall.
- If you continue on, you’ll reach the Three Dragons Waterfalls.
