Tai Po Kau Forest Reserve

Info from Hong Kong’s Great Outdoors

Excellent trail system, through regenerating sub-tropical forest. The blue and red trails are shorter, initially running close to a stream; the yellow and brown trails climb higher. One of Hong Kong’s best birding sites.

From Shatin, take bus 72 from Shatin New Town Plaza (near KCR station), or taxi from KCR East Rail Tai Po Market Station.
