Walking along the waterfront promenade has become one of my favourite weekend activities. I find it really relaxing just staring out over the water and catching the sea breeze. Most of the waterfront areas (aside from Victoria Harbor by TST) are surprisingly quiet compared to other attractions in the city.
Now I can add the Tai Po Waterfront Park to my list of favourite areas in HK. The Waterfront Park overlooks Sha Tin Hoi (沙田海) towards Ma On Shan (馬鞍山). One cool thing about this Park is the Lookout Tower which commemorates HK's handover back to China in 1997. From the top of this tower, I could see a 180 degree view of the surrounding area, from Tai Po Industrial area to the HK Science Park.

Aside from the Waterfront path, there`s also quite a large open area where the locals go to fly their kites. The impressive thing about these kite flyers is that the string is so long that I could see their kites from blocks away. Today I saw a cool kite in the shape of traditional Chinese Opera Mask.

Lots of people rented bikes to ride along the path. The bike rental shop even has three-seater bikes available (one person bikes at the front and 2 others can sit in the cart in the back). Next time CharK and I are back here, it looks like fun to rent a bike to check out the rest of the path.
