HKMBA - Chi Ma Wan (0 words)
The trail is natural until you reach Shui Tseng Wan, at which point the natural surface is replaced by concrete.
This loop was opened in 1998 after lobbying by the HKMBA to improve access on the Chi Ma Wan Peninsula and is a very gentle ride apart from the middle section, around 1/5 of the route, which involves a fair amount of bicycle portage.
At this point you can either follow the left hand trail and do the full Chi Ma Wan Trail, which is a further two hour ride (longer in summer), or call it a day and take the right hand trail which will bring you back to the trail cross-roads just mentioned.

Kwok said the Chi Ma Wan expansion plan could follow the construction of a new prison at Lo Wu that will be completed by the end of 2009 and accommodate 1,200 inmates.
