Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Sha Tin à Tuen Mun

Set off from Shatin, a lively New Territories hub known for its shopping malls and riverside pathways, and pedal your way to Tuen Mun, a laid-back district with historic forts and beaches. This 61 km route takes you on a fun, varied adventure across Hong Kong’s northwestern New Territories, often following quiet roads and purpose-built cycle ways, with the bonus of only a few busy sections.

You'll gain and lose plenty of elevation en route (just over 1,200 meters climbing, and even more descending!), which means you’ll get some sweeping views—especially near the high point at almost 400 meters. About half the ride is on paved surfaces (grey tarmac or smooth asphalt), but don’t be surprised by a few rougher patches, so take a sturdy bike.

Expect plenty of greenery, village scenes, and perhaps a monkey sighting as you skirt past parks and outlying areas. Once you reach Tuen Mun, take a moment to relax along the waterfront or explore the fish market. This is a full-day ride, so bring snacks, water, and your sense of adventure!
