Is it this one?

But the text seems to be different than the one shown in this page.

You appear to have discovered one unknown to me. It has a couple of differences from the one I listed, which seems to indicate that although it is in the same area, it is on a slightly different path.

If that's the case, then the locations for this marker stone is not on that path called Qinlong Ancient Trail running northward, it's more likely to be on the other path called Sze Hung Ancient Trail running northeast ... ?

Here's my record of coordinates for the marker with the readings below ...

PB 221 L 68 69 71 Catchment

I have dragged the position as best I can to the point I had marked on my map. It has come to a fourth decimal point of those co-ordinates you gave, so it should be within a few metres. I have no idea of the names of the paths. That apparently is a recent addition. Believe me, when I walked that path I spent much of the time trying to find where it went in the vegetation. It passed to the east of Amah Rock, crossed the Catchwater, and came out in a barbecue area alongside a road loop to Lion Rock Tunnel Road.

The other marker was on a different path, which is now probably still part of the MacLehose Trail, leading north east.
