  HKMBA - Chi Ma Wan
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.

 Chi Ma Wan Trail
The Chi Ma Wan (Sesame Bay) Peninsula is bypassed by the Lantau Trail, and as such is often left untrod by hikers too.
This means that its paths are not overrun by tour groups on holidays, and quiet solitude can be found on any day of the week.
The hike can be started from this point, or from the Chi Ma Wan ferry pier which is reachable by the less frequent inter-island ferry.

Eighteen trampers enjoyed an excellent day's hiking over Lo Yan Shan, the jewel in the crown of Chi Ma Wan Peninsular, a thousand steps or more (or so it felt) and a particular favourite of Chris Bailey if I understood her well.
We welcomed Noreen from downunder, but she found the pace a bit too fast and wisely decided to take the boat back from Chi Ma Wan ferry pier.

As is often the case with old village houses, it's hard to tell whether they're inhabited or not, but the terraces in front are certainly fallow.
