General
The San Pin Stones comprise the collection of buttresses on the hillside overlooking Wah Fat Playground on the eastern side of Tuen Mun.
Access
The crags are best accessed from Wah Fat Street and through Wah Fat Playground, following the staircase at the rear of the playground up the hill to reach a BBQ area on the catchwater road above.
San Pin Stones: Once at the catchwater, turn right and follow the road a short way until reaching a small footbridge over the catchwater itself. From the far side of the bridge, follow a dirt trail leading along the top of the engineered slope, before continuing up the ridgeline and through the hillside above. Follow the trail to the main ridge above, before following this back north to reach the top of the crags. The crags themselves are typically reached by shot scrambles down to their bases. Typical access time from Wah Fat Street is about 20-25 minutes.
Dragon’s Trough: From the top of the staircase, turn left and follow the catchwater around a slight bend until you reach a small metal access ladder leading up the slope on the far side of the drainage channel. Use this to access the hillside above, where a dirt trail takes you up and gradually left towards the base of the crag.
