New Territories Cycle Track Network
Who wants to go on a six-hour cycling adventure? With the ultimate goal to link up the individual cycling tracks currently scattered across the New Territories, this brand-new cycling network is a beast of a ride, stretching across 60 kilometres of Hong Kong’s most picturesque suburbs, hinterlands, and gorgeous sea views! Additionally, all along the track, bicycle hubs will provide all sorts of public facilities for cyclists, such as bicycle rentals, parking spaces, first-aid stations, refreshment kiosks, and bathrooms.
Comprising of two comprehensive sections—Tuen Mun to Ma On Shan and Tsuen Wan to Tuen Mun—the New Territories Cycle Track Network creates a connected east-west system between the neighbourhoods of Tsuen Wan, Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, Sheung Shui, Fanling, Tai Po, Sha Tin, and Ma On Shan. At present, the track clocks in at a total length of about 60 kilometres, with an additional 22 kilometres expected upon completion.
For those itching to hit the road, the sections from Tuen Mun to Yuen Long, from Yuen Long to Sheung Shui, and from Sheung Shui to Ma On Shan have been completed and are open to the public, with remaining parts expected to open by end of September. Once you’ve tackled this first mammoth stretch, you can look forward to the opening of the extended cycling track between Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun, which is scheduled to open to the public in early 2021.
