Hong Kong has waterfalls? You might not be able to imagine waterfalls in Hong Kong, but it's actually quite similar to Thailand. With mountains and headwaters, waterfalls are a natural occurrence. However, few tourists visit these falls, and they are mainly frequented by locals who come for hiking and other activities.
The waterfall we are going to visit is located in Plover Cove Country Park. It is easily accessible by public transportation. Take the East Rail Line and get off at Tai Po Market Station. Then, transfer to minibus route 20C or 20R and ride for 19 stops. Get off at the Bride's Pool bus terminus.
Upon exiting the vehicle, face the main road and walk straight towards the pavilion on the right-hand side. Just past the pavilion, you will see an entrance; follow the path to reach your destination.
Descend the stairs, following the path. Along the way, there are areas for barbecuing and resting. The area is heavily wooded, providing a cool and comfortable atmosphere. The sun barely penetrates the canopy, and a light drizzle adds to the coolness.

After a five-minute walk, you will encounter a waterfall. It is a low-level waterfall with slightly cloudy water, likely due to recent rainfall. Upon reaching this point, you will find a bridge to cross, leading to a designated barbecue area.
Beyond the barbecue area, there is a fork in the path leading to another waterfall. The path involves a slight uphill climb. The waterfall here is a high cliff with a strong current. While people have been seen taking photos near the edge, no one has been observed swimming in the water.
Continuing along another path, the terrain became quite challenging due to the muddy and slippery conditions, requiring slow and cautious steps. After some distance, another waterfall emerged, this time with a pool suitable for swimming. However, with the last bus back to the city approaching, the decision was made to postpone any aquatic activities for a future visit. This initial exploration served as a reconnaissance mission for a more thorough adventure in the future.
The heavy rain seemed to be driving us home before the storm hit. Okay, let's go back. On the way back, we took the same path. No matter how deep we went, we had to find a way out to the main road to catch a ride back to where we started. That's the end of our waterfall trip for today. See you next time!
