Yuen Kam Nam Circuit
Afternoon Ride
This fairly easy bicycle ride explores the more historic parts of Yuen Long and Kam Tin and even allows us to check out the rich bird life
around the Nam Sang Wai wetlands.
The first stop on our journey is Yuen Long old town; a low-rise oasis where very old houses and temples mix effortlessly with more modern
structures along narrow car free alleys. The contrasts between old and new are quite intriguing...
Following a combination of quiet roads and bicycle paths, we next head for Kam Tin to discover buildings that are older still. Kam Tin can
trace its history back to 1103 AD, but most of the remaining old buildings and structures were built between 1685 and 1841. We will visit a
number of ancestral halls, temples and study halls and the famous Tree House.
After a refreshment break, we dedicate the second half of our ride to birdwatching as we cycle on quiet back roads along the shallow Kam
Tin River and into the Nam Sang Wai wetlands. The mangrove-clad shores and the - mostly - abandoned fish farms provide ideal conditions
for a rich and varied bird life. Recent sightings include Cormorants, Grey Herons, Wigeons, Teals, Northern Shovelers, White Wagtails and
Black Kites.
We pause for refreshments at a store above old fish ponds before boarding Hong Kong’s most unique ferry that will greatly shorten our trip
back to Yuen Long.
Comfortable air-conditioned buses run between Yuen Long and Hong Kong island every few minutes, so you must feel free to stay behind and
explore this bustling market town...
