Cycling day trip from Tai Po to Yuen Long Kau Hui

Set off from Tai Po, a charming neighborhood nestled by the Tolo Harbour, known for its relaxed vibe and famous Tai Po Market. Your ride covers roughly 22.5 km and follows mostly quiet roads, giving you the perfect balance of peace and a little adventure.

You’ll climb steadily through some lovely hills—expect almost 570 meters of ascent, so there’ll be some sweating! The scenery is worth it, though, with green hills and hidden villages around every bend. About 11% of your journey is on paved or asphalt roads, but be ready for mixed surfaces; there could be gravel or paths less traveled as you near the New Territories’ more rural heartlands.

Your journey ends at Yuen Long Kau Hui, a historic market area that’s been a trading hub for centuries. It's a great spot to refuel at a local eatery, explore traditional wet markets, or just soak in the authentic New Territories vibe before heading home. Don’t forget to snap a few photos—this route packs both nature and culture into a solid half-day ride!
