9 Tai Po Waterfront Park
This venue is blessedly big, with plenty of grassy areas to spread out on, and other facilities to keep you busy, such as an area for kite flying, bowling greens, and a lookout tower that’s shaped rather like a sea snail with a spiraling path leading to its top. The park itself is segmented by plant type, with sections dedicated to figs, roses, and herbs, for example. There’s even an insect house to explore! If you time your visit to coincide with the annual Dragon Boat Festival, this is the perfect spot to catch the Tai Po Dragon Boat Race, which is held in the sea off the park.
How to get there
The easiest way to get there is to take the MTR to Tai Po Market Station, then hop into a cab, but buses 275R and 74F will also take you to the park.
