Cycling day trip from Yuen Long Kau Hui to Tsuen Wan

Get ready for a ride that’s part urban adventure, part natural escape! You’ll start in Yuen Long Kau Hui, a vibrant market town with deep roots in Hong Kong’s history. The first leg meanders through pedestrian areas and quieter backroads—great for warming up those legs and soaking up local street life.

As you leave Yuen Long behind, expect a real workout: over 1,400 meters of ascent will have you tackling some rolling hills and a couple of steeper climbs, with max elevation hitting around 550 meters. The surfaces are a mixed bag: mostly unlisted or missing, but you’ll come across stretches of asphalt and concrete to keep things rolling smoothly. Be prepared for transitions and maybe a patch of rougher terrain.

The route descends towards Tsuen Wan, a lively district nestled between the edge of urban Kowloon and the natural beauty of Tai Mo Shan. With about 41 km in total, this ride mixes old villages, hillside vistas, and city scapes—plus some busy road sections, so keep alert.

End your journey in Tsuen Wan, famous for its bustling markets and waterfront promenade, perfect for a well-earned break and some post-ride exploring!
