Helpfulness
Dakeng Parkland has eight hiking paths. I only went hiking for No.4 path, the most famous one due to the name : little Great Wall.
Most residents had ever taken a walk in Dakeng, except me and my friends. So, we unconsiously chose the most difficult one to accomplish. No.4 is the hardest and the most spectacular pathway among all the paths. The total length of the footways (no. 1-5) is 11.87 kilometers. It took us 2 hours only for No.4.
Equipment: Towel is a must, even though I always skip it.
Two bottles of mineral water, coz you'll drink up one bottle before you go down the hill.
