Sang Wai is a wetland area in the New Territories, and the only way to
get to the trail is to cross the river through a cheap, slow and ghetto
looking boat. It's not a bad way to start a rustic adventure though:
On a side note, whenever I think about river crossing for some reason I
always think about the Greek myth of some old man ferrying people across
the river to the underworld, so maybe that's why this felt quite
magical to me, and I really bought the whole "getting transported into a
different time and place" narrative (or most likely I'm just a city girl who's too easily impressed).

One of the landmarks is this beautiful path of eucalyptus trees. This is the stuff of romantic dramas and nostalgic childhood montages. I ran along part of the trail with these kids (think the boys were trying to run away from the girls), but if anyone wants to recreate a cheesy Korean drama scene next time I'm all up for it:
