This cycle track passes several bus stops and estate entrances, so watch for pedestrians.

After the fire station and the ambulance depot, you can turn left down into the tunnel, or turn right and use the crossing to reach the cycle track opposite.

By now you may ask: Tai Wai Station and Hin Keng Station are so close, so why such a long way round?
Today's MTR Tai Wai Depot was once Tai Wai Cycling Park, a popular place for people in Hong Kong to rent bikes.
In 2000 it had to move to Tai Shui Hang so the Ma On Shan Line depot could be built.
After the depot was finished, the original cycle track never came back.
