Cycling day trip from Shatin to Sai Kung

Kick off your cycling adventure from the bustling town of Sha Tin, a vibrant hub known for its shopping centers and river views, setting the perfect energetic tone for your ride. As you pedal along this 26-kilometer route towards the charming seaside town of Sai Kung, you'll traverse a variety of surfaces and paths—almost like a mini cycling sampler!

Begin by cruising along dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, which make up the bulk of your journey, offering a peaceful start with views of lush greenery and urban landscapes. About 36% of the route has an unspecified surface, so prepare for a bit of mystery under your tires, but hey, it keeps things interesting, right?

You'll encounter some gentle climbs—a total ascent of around 596 meters awaits, giving your legs a wake-up call. But don't worry, you'll also enjoy some thrilling descents, hitting a max elevation of 254 meters, perfect for those who love a breezy ride downhill.

Ending in Sai Kung, often dubbed the “back garden of Hong Kong,” you'll be greeted by scenic coastal views and a laid-back atmosphere. Treat yourself to some fresh seafood as a reward for completing this vibrant bike ride. Happy cycling!
