Cycling day trip from Tai Po to Sai Kung

Get ready for a scenic adventure as you ride from Tai Po to Sai Kung! This route covers about 28 km and is perfect if you’re after a mix of town, countryside, and stunning coastline. You'll set off from Tai Po, a lively spot known for its bustling markets and the Lam Tsuen Wishing Tree. The first part rolls you through cycleways and quiet roads, then the real fun (and climbs!) begin—there’s over 600 meters of ascent, so expect some nice hill work and rewarding views.

As you near Sai Kung, the “Back Garden of Hong Kong,” picturesque inlets and the charming harbor welcome you. Sai Kung is famous for its seafood, laid-back seaside vibe, and easy access to hiking or beach hopping if you're up for more exploring.

Despite a mix of surfaces—most paved but occasionally changing terrain—this ride is best for cyclists with some experience. Don’t forget to pause for photos, soak up the green hills, and treat yourself to some seafood at the end!
