After you climb 268 steps to see the Golden Big Buddha in Ngong Ping in Lantau Island you can walk down to this Backpackers Den in the hill.It is only a walkable distance from the Po Lin Monastery.
Clear signs show the directions to this place and the path is well paved to carry your rucksack on trolley wheels.The scenery is quite scintillating with greenery all around and you come across a small tea plantations also along the way.
The high rise trees protect you from the hot summer and the gradient is easy to walk through.You get a breath of fresh air after seeing the Central Hongkong with sky rise buildings and the population surging forward from MRT Stations.
The path is well maintained and hardly you see the crowd which you would have experienced while climbing to see the Big Buddha.Only trekkers use this path to go around to reach the fishing village below.
There is also a cafeteria for snacks and small bites but it was closed when I went.But there is a Vegetarian restaurant near the Monastery which caters to the need of the Tourists and the food is hot and spicy.There is a variety of food to choose from and I could see many Tourists having a good bite sitting under the shades of trees.
