草城石澗，源自草山，山水流入城門水塘，政府地圖沒有此名字，所以遊人極罕見。
下面有草城石澗位置地圖:
Tso Shing Stream, originates from Grassy Hill (Tso Shan), stream water flowing down to Shing Mun Reservoir, this is why it gets the name "Tso Shing Stream".
The name is not stated in government maps, but you can find it from the map below uploaded by a HK hiking team:

白千層林. Paper-bark forest.

大城石澗 Tai Shing Stream.

Hahaha!!!!

先走主壩方向
Go for the way to main dam first.

在此小休, 會有驚喜.
Our snacks time begins from here.
Surprises are awaiting!!!!

進入草城石澗!!!
Now we were @ Tso Shing Stream!!!

走向大埔.
Now we were going to the way for Tai Po.

續走古道深入草城石澗
Now we were going down to the old village path, which is also leading to Tso Shing Stream.

有些屋舍遺跡, 亦有用石砌成的古道, 相信昔日有村落在此.
城門水塘未興建之前, 有很多村落在附近, 有水源便會有村.
We have found some bricks and broken huts, with old rocky footpaths. There should be a village here in the old past.
Usually you can find a village where is a stream / a river is present.
