Family Cycling Route 3: Sha Tin to Tai Mei Tuk
Difficulty: ★★★☆☆
Crowd Level: ★★★★☆
Route Sha Tin to Tai Mei Tuk is one of Hong Kong's classic cycling routes, spanning 22 kilometres (about 2-3 hours at a leisurely pace) primarily on flat terrain. Starting from Sha Tin’s city centre, you’ll cycle along the Shing Mun River, past the Sha Tin Racecourse, to the Hong Kong Science Park, and then through Tolo Harbour and Tai Po Waterfront Park to Tai Mei Tuk. There are many bike rental shops along the way, allowing for easy returns without needing to backtrack. There are also plenty of restaurants and rest areas, making it very beginner-friendly.

The Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Tunnel has been described as "Hong Kong's version of Miami." Besides stunning sea views, there are wide grassy areas and rows of palm trees, giving a tropical feel. You can start by renting a bike at the Tsui Hong Cycling Hub, then cycle along the path towards Tuen Mun Town Centre, reaching Butterfly Bay Park and finally the tunnel, where you’ll find popular photo spots with expansive grass and palm trees.
