Sha Tin to Wu Kai Sha

This is a shorter version of the Sha Tin to Tai Mei Tuk route. I instead of heading for Tai Po from Twin Bridge in Sha Tin, continue along the eastern shore of Tolo Harbour into Ma On Shan New Town. Conclude your ride with a view of the sunset at Wu Kai Sha Beach and Public Pier — a relatively short route, but scenic all the same.

Starting point — Shing Mun River

Head to the Shing Mun River from Sha Tin or Tai Wai.

‘Twin Bridge’

After arriving at the Twin Bridge, do not cross it but ride straight on.

Ma On Shan Promenade

Coastal new town Ma On Shan is well planned and pleasant. Its residents enjoy relaxing at the promenade, which embraces the vast Tolo Harbour. With a total length of 3.2 km, there is a jogging trail, playground and fitness station in addition to the cycling track, with plenty of washrooms and drinking fountains.

Ma On Shan Park

This large park not only offers playgrounds and kiosks, but also extensive lawns for a nice break and a waterfront viewing platform. (You may bring your bike inside, but cycling is not allowed within the park.)

End point — Wu Kai Sha Public Pier

At the end of the promenade, an elegant beach emerges. Have a well-earned rest and enjoy the sea breeze at the pier.
