The trail traces the southeastern shore of Ma Shi Chau. The route features the ancient sedimentary rock formations and landforms of the island. The ancient rocks here were formed in the Permian Period about 280 to 250 million years ago, and later sculpted into various unique compositions and terrains by earth movements. Along the trail there are interesting faults, folds, quartz veins, concretion, Lung Lok Shui, wave-cut platforms and riparian plants.
