Cycling route from Fu Shin to Kwong Fuk Bridge

Route | Fu Shin Estate > Lam Tsuen River > Tai Po Arts Centre > Kwong Fuk Bridge

Tai Po's cycling network is well developed, and different routes will still get you there. This time we set off from Fu Shin Estate and follow the cycle track at Yee Nga Court.

Lam Tsuen River
Lam Tsuen River. If you live in Tai Po you have certainly passed it, and it hardly needs another introduction.
Familiar as it is, are there views you have started to overlook?
Next time, get on a bike and ride at 15 km/h, and see this neighbourhood you and I know so well with fresh eyes.

Tai Po Arts Centre
Have you noticed this pink school while cycling?
It's actually the Tai Po Arts Centre, converted from the former Tai Po Government Secondary School.
Black box and white box theatres, dance studios and music rooms are available for short-term hire.
It also runs all kinds of cultural and creative events and workshops.

There are quite a few road flyovers and footbridges over the Lam Tsuen River. Do you know their history?
Kwong Fuk Bridge, the end of this episode's route, is actually the third generation.

The old Kwong Fuk Bridge stood at the far end of today's Kwong Fuk Road and was completed in 1896. In 1898, after Britain leased the New Territories, a one-way road bridge was built beside Kwong Fuk Bridge. It was converted to two lanes in 1957. In 1986 the Hong Kong Government demolished the whole bridge and replaced it with Po Heung Bridge. The site was rebuilt as a red-pillar, green-tile footbridge for pedestrians and cyclists, and the stone railings and stone piers of Kwong Fuk Bridge are still kept beside it.
