Cycling day trip from Tuenmen to Shatin

Kick off this ride in Tuen Mun, a laid-back district in the far west of Hong Kong, famous for its beaches and chilled vibes. You’ll be heading across the New Territories all the way to Sha Tin—home of HK’s bustling racecourse and riverside parks.

It’s a good, long spin: about 64 km with plenty of ups and downs (total ascent sneaks close to 1400 meters!). Most of the route keeps you on quiet roads and cycleways, so you get stretches to just roll and soak in the scenery—especially when you hit pockets of green around Tai Lam Country Park. Expect a mix of surface types, from smooth paved to the occasional rougher path, so bring a bike with decent tires.

As you creep closer to Sha Tin, you’ll skirt along the Shing Mun River. If you’ve got some energy left, the riverside cycle track is a classic Hong Kong route, perfect for a cool-down cruise before grabbing some well-earned eats. All in all, it’s a route for those who want a real New Territories adventure!
