À vélo de Sha Tin à Tai Po

This route takes you on a relaxed ride from Shatin to Tai Po, weaving through some of the best cycling paths in the New Territories. Starting in the bustling heart of Shatin—famous for its riverside promenade, shopping centers, and the iconic 10,000 Buddhas Monastery—you’ll glide mostly along dedicated cycleways, making this a pretty chill spin for riders of all levels.

The ride covers a bit over 16.5 km, with gentle ups and downs and a maximum elevation just above 114 meters. You’ll travel beside the scenic Shing Mun River and then cruise north towards Tai Po. Most of the route is well-paved and smooth, though keep an eye out for some missing segments that might be a bit rougher under tire.

Once you roll into Tai Po, you'll find a charming blend of local markets, heritage spots, and waterfront parks—perfect for a coffee stop or a stroll. With over three-quarters of the route on cycleways and mostly away from busy traffic, this is one of Hong Kong’s classic, stress-free bike routes. Enjoy the ride!
