Get ready to pedal in the country

Bikers, try this new ride in Tai Po.

The 900-meter Sam Mun Tsai waterfront cycle track has been opened, the Civil Engineering and Development Department announced yesterday.

The track, running along Sam Mun Tsai Road from the junction with Ting Kok Road, is an extension of the Sheung Shui to University Station section of the New Territories Cycle Track Network.

Cyclists can enjoy panoramic views of the Shuen Wan Typhoon Shelter along the route as it is surrounded by the stunning natural scenery of Pat Sin Leng, Plover Cove and Tolo Harbour. You can also take a break at the resting station at the end of the track which has a toilet, water dispensers, sheltered benches and cycle parking spaces.

Citizens can visit the website of the New Territories Cycle Track Network (www.ntctn.hk). The route of the waterfront track is also available in the all-in-one mobile application HKeMobility.
