另外，請小心注意，初時山路較崎嶇，盡量緩步行走，去前一日要休息充足，時刻提高警覺，減低弄傷的機會。
Yuen Tun Country Trail is located at Tai Lam Country Park where closing to Tsuen Wan. Starting from the entrance of Tsing Lung Tau, and then passing Sham Tseng Settlement Basin. After that, follow the catchwater to walk upward, finally you will arrive at Yuen Tun.
Besides, as a friendly reminder, please be careful that the mountain road is too rugged. We suggest you to take a good rest before the day going hiking. Being a smart hiker, the chance of injury can be reduced.
抵達後，你會發現有數座客家村屋，但已經沒有人居住了。你知道箇中的原因嗎？其實圓墩原本是一個村落，但在興建大欖涌水塘時受到影響，所以村民已經搬離了原居地。雖然政府現已將圓墩村改作民安隊訓練營地，但亦保留了這幾間村屋，圓墩村古屋在2010年1月被評為香港三級歷史建築並向公眾開放，讓遊人行山時可以順道參觀昔日圓墩村的景況。
Arriving at Yuen Tun, you will find that there are a few number of Hakka houses, but nobody lives there anymore. Do you know the reason behind such situation? Actually, Yuen Tun is a Hakka walled village long time ago. Since the local villagers were influenced when constructing the Tai Lam Chung Reservoir, so they finally moved out their homes. Nowadays, Yuen Tun village already changed as the Civil Aid Service's Yuen Tun Training Camp by Hong Kong Government. Yuen Tun village is still conserved by the government though. This rural village also rated as the Grade III historic buildings in Hong Kong in January 2010. Public are welcomed to visit it. If you are interested in learning Hong Kong culture, you must hold on the chance because it has the great historical value.
之後的路段很容易行走。一帶都是以植林區為主，沿途除了可以欣賞不同種類的植物，也出現了小昆蟲的踪跡。當走得更高時，可以欣賞到沿路一帶優美的景色。沿途亦會經過多條十字路口，若果感到疲倦，可選擇任何一條路口離開郊遊徑。
Leaving Yuen Tun village, the road is much easier to walk. Walking along the plantation road, not only do you look at different types of plant species, but you can also find the rare insect species. When you go higher, the wonderful views will appear in front of your eyes. On the way, you will pass along many crossroads. If you are too tired or uncomfortable, you can leave through any crossroads.
走到大欖涌水塘北端，就是終點了，可依着路牌指示，到永吉橋附近的草地休息。若要離開這裏，亦有多條山路小徑選擇，但大多都要花上個多小時的步程，所以謹記要預留充足的時間。
The finishing point is at northern end of Tai Lam Chung Reservoir. You can go to the meadow nearby Wing Kut Bridge if you want to take a break. If not, you can choose any alley to leave. However, many alleys are quite long, you have to spend more than 1 hour to walk away from the country trail. Please plan your schedule well before going to Yuen Tun Country Trail. Hope you have a nice day in there!
