Recordist's notes

With its name originating from Kap Lung Village, Kap Lung Ancient Trail is one of those the old trails with a long history. Kap Lung Ancient Trail located next to Route Twisk, bridging Kap Lung and Tsuen Kam Au. It was once a major commuting route that allowed farmers who lived around Pat Heung and Shek Kong to travel to and from Tsuen Wan Market. Every single step of the well-preserved path was built of granite and the whole trail is located in the woods. Seasonal characteristics of the path are further enhanced by the presence of, Chinese New Year Flower, Giant Alocasia, Camel’s Foot Tree, Tree Cotton, and Ivory Coral Tree. Given a lush growth of trees and grass and a rich ecosystem, you could still hear a huge variety of the sound of birds and bugs even it is next to the main road. 甲龍古道因甲龍村得名,是香港其中一條歷史悠久的古道。古道位於荃錦公路旁,連接甲龍和荃錦坳,是古時八鄉石崗一帶務農人士往來荃灣市集的必經之路。整段郊遊徑都在林間,每一級都是由花崗岩砌成,加上吊鐘花、海芋、宮粉羊蹄甲、木棉及象牙花等植物,更為四季添上各自的特色。由於草木繁茂,生態豐富,即使在公路旁也能聽到多樣的鳥聲與蟲鳴。
