The 10 Best Things to do in Tai Po, China

August 2, 2021 Florencio Paulino

Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features. Get an eyeful of traditional Chinese architecture in Ngong Ping village, then take the tram to the tippity-top of Victoria Peak for unparalleled views. The rocks and gentle hills of Nan Lian Garden will bring you inner peace, as will a calming cup of tea in a Stanley café. Become one with everything at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a serene Buddhist complex.

We started our walk from the Tai Mei Tuk Carpark at 11am friday. Lots of people cycling, walking, jogging and a group of young people was dancing in the helicopters landing area. Its a lovely walking tract, walk pass barbecue sites, outdoor activities centre and then you will see the main Dam.

Kadoorie Farm and Botanical Gardens

Reviewed By yalibrarian - San Antonio, United States

Located in the New Territories, you will have to take the MTR and the bus (load the app to follow the stops). The bus stops right in front of the entrance. Friendly and knowledgable staff and docents. Peruse the web site to find the shuttle tour times. Shuttle will take you up the mountain with numerous stops for photo ops, including an orchid garden, fern garden, and butterfly garden. The walk down is well marked, paved, and shaded. Rescue animals include monkeys, birds of prey, reptiles, and flamingoes. Organic farms are all over the mountain slopes. Stop at their outdoor restaurant to sample their produce or at least try some tea. Allocate at least two hours, although you could spend longer. $4 USD for entrance and shuttle tour. A great way to get your outdoor fix if you don't necessarily want to hike during the hot, humid summer. Glad we took the time!

Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park

Reviewed By callek2016 - Hong Kong, China

We want here during our Chinese New Year trip. Anchored up in the designated anchorage and rowed the dinghy to shore. Fabulous clean water and interesting things to look at. We always wanted to look at the old lime kilns. Strangely enough everyone are on the western beach, even with their kayaks when the eastern beach is nicer. What a treat to get a beach for ourselves! There a few restaurants their (a pair maybe). Toilet is far away from the restaurants (but good bushes nearby)., yeah, they serve ice cold beer in the restaurants so... We chatted with the Agricultural and Fisheries department guards regards to not having the speed limits for boats online, only on the signboard at shore. A bit too late! Lucky we found a picture on here before heading off.

Tai Mo Shan Country Park

Reviewed By TheOExpress - Hong Kong, China

Our hike up from Ng Tung Chai to the peak of Tai Mo Shan was past waterfalls and through quite dense forest and it’s probably the hardest we’ve yet done in HK just because it was so long. But it was definitely worth it! The waterfall and jungle scenery is fantastic and the views are also wonderful.

Tap Mun Island

Reviewed By Aussielins - Taree, Australia

On my second visit, I walked on a well made path that circled the island. The route was well marked and passed many interesting features including a Tin Hau temple and the Balance Rock. Views were magnificent. After the walk, we had a mediocre meal in the only restaurant that was open near the ferry.

Tai Mei Tuk Town

Reviewed By joemitch90

If you are looking for a more relaxed type place to go in Hong Kong then this is one of many places you could visit. Probably more ideal if you are into biking or bbq. A selection of around half a dozen different restaurants offering Thai, Indian, Italian etc. You can rent bikes and go along the dedicated bike paths or by the water is a bbq area and a reservoir you can walk across to take in some nice scenery. It’s around a 10minute drive from tai po market station.

Tsz Shan Monastery

Reviewed By ViktoriaA - Hong Kong, China

Beautiful place with scenic views. A good place for meditation, they also offer walking meditation and calligraphy. The coffee shop there provides coffee/tea and cake for a donation. Pre-booking is required. Therefore, there are not a lot of people visiting at the same time and it is very peaceful. The museum was closed because of the corona virus when we were visiting.
