Cycling route from Sheung Shui Cycling Hub to Luen Wo Hui

Route: Sheung Shui Cycling Hub > North District Sports Ground > Wong Tai Temple > Luen Wo Hui

The Sheung Shui to Yuen Long section of the New Territories Cycle Track Network officially opened in September 2020!
This episode we set off from one of the rest stops, the Sheung Shui Cycling Hub.


Keep riding along Jockey Club Road. Passing Tin Ping Estate, you find an interesting mural.
It isn't a grand ornate painting, but using one panel for each family is quite creative.

This roundabout has probably stumped quite a few outsiders. Look for the On Lok Estate sign.

Riding along the cycle track, this seven-storey building is bound to catch your eye. What is it?
This seven-storey building is Wong Tai Temple. It was previously the Hin Yuen Ancestral Hall, built in 1925.
It was once a communal ancestral hall where villagers of the various clans in Fanling, in the northern New Territories, worshipped and held meetings, and it was also San Nung School.
In 2000, members of the Tang clan of Lung Yeuk Tau in the New Territories raised funds to demolish and rebuild it, and it was formally named Wong Tai Temple.
It is also the first substantial memorial building to the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan, in South China.

Leave Wong Tai Temple, through the subway, and you're at Luen Wo Hui.
This subway has quite a few bends. Besides watching for pedestrians, watch for bikes coming down the slope from the other direction.

Mention Luen Wo Hui and many people think of Luen Wo Market.
The market opened in 1951, built of concrete, with 60 stalls. Besides the building that still stands, there was also an open-air market.
In 2002 it was replaced by the public Luen Wo Hui Market, and it stopped operating on 26 September the same year.
Luen Wo Market is to be transformed into the House of Urban and Rural Living, promoting local farm produce, with community shops, stalls and occasional markets.


Luen Wo Market has not been transformed yet, but Luen Wo Hui still has plenty of hidden snacks.
Plenty of neighbourhood shops to choose from: corned beef and egg toast, a whole soy-sauce chicken drumstick in a bun, a cheung fun shop that has had people queueing for 20 years, and more.
