Double Haven Country Trail (from Wu Kau Tang to Lai Chi Wo) is around 8 km and takes about 2.5 to 3 hours to finish. The Trail is recommended for those with some hiking experience.
The Trail connects Wu Kau Tang, Kau Tam Tso, Sheung Miu Tin, Ha Miu Tin, Sam A Chung, Sam A Tsuen and Lai Chi Wo. Apart from its majestic views, it also has high ecological value, whereby hikers can find various plants and insects along the way. Lai Chi Wo Village is a Hakka village with over 300 years of history. The village houses, arranged in 9 rows, are built in alignment with the gradient of the hills. Protected by brick walls, the village faces Double Haven with a feng shui woodland at its back. During low tides, visitors can find fiddler crabs and mudskippers in the mangroves and mudflat areas near Lai Chi Wo. When taking a walk along the nature trail, visitors can also hear birds twitter in the trees.
Siu Ying Story Room at Lai Chi Wo was established in the expansion building of the former Siu Ying School. The exhibition mainly comes from the oral history of villagers and the historical materials they donated. Arranged in 4 themes, namely history of Hing Chun Alliance and the 7 villages, Siu Ying School, Tai Ping Ching Chiu and farming and trade, the exhibition presents the heritage and different lifestyles of the region and reproduces the rural communities in bygone days.
