The completion of a section of cycling track in Hong Kong’s New Territories has put the finishing touches on a 60km (37-mile) long path that links Tuen Mun and Ma On Shan. The new 11km (6.8-mile) Yuen Long to Sheung Shui section, which runs through a number of scenic spots such as the Kam Tin River and the Long Valley Wetland, opened to the public on September 29, 2020. South China Morning Post reporter Mark Agnew and Chan Ka-leung of the Hong Kong Cycling Alliance took advantage of the autumn weather to saddle up for a road test.

This is so beautiful. 60KM is quite a long stretch
Stooooooop! You're everywhere. Take a break
didnt ask
How are you here
60km might feel long if they are a lot of hills.
That guy biking with shirt and business pant. Crazy
what you want? cycling outfit on a work?
some in Amsterdam ride wearing business suit or fashionable clothes. every person's personal preference.
In Ganzhou, I saw ladies in heels biking, dunno how they do it.
So it's not really a continuous cycle track. There are dangerous intersections, and you have to get off and walk your bike in a number of places. Okay....we still have a long way to go to be more like the Netherlands.
It would be great if action was taken about the design issues!
Ye i dunno about a bumpy track
I live in Hong Kong
And I had ridden in this road before
It's a fun trail with a nice scene
However the road is really bumpy
Is there a direct cycling route from Tsuen Wan to Ma On Shan? Or the only way is riding via Tuen Mun?
@@valygarss yes there are
@@chesterchan5107 Thanks
@@valygarss You have to use Tai Po Road unless you are willing to take a long detour. It's quite dangerous though so be careful.
Chicken talking with duck. haha
Recently done this path from shatin to yuen long. While it is true that many sections of the path are pedestrian sidewalks and crossroads, most people still just ride their bikes on them, as not many people walk there, and the path is wide. So don't have to worry about getting off every few minutes
True, but it’s actually illegal to cycle past the blue ‘dismount’ signs
Awesome cycle road
0:27 really looks like the Netherlands
Sounds more like a tourist track than as part of a cycling infrastructure for every day transport use.
Ive done this whole track before from Ma On Shan to Tsuen Wan and it was exhausting but great fun!
Is there, anywhere along the road, bike for rent?
I found myself cycling through this section after my group suffered miscommunication over which cycling route to take when cycling together prior to the trip.
Let’s just say it did not end well. 😂 Beautiful track, especially during the Fairview Park sector, but this is one heck of a track. 😂
wow, amasing! ❤️🚴🏻
Making roads for bicycles is cool. Imagine then you’ll need a plate and a license to ride lol
Rather that than having to get off every 10 s (that’s not an exaggeration)
Really bad examples with new york and London. You should come to the Netherlands where we have the best bike cycle routes compare withe new york and London.
@Redskins 7 true
0:43 it’s actually illegal to cycle on footway (lol)
I have done 60 km too .
Better than jakarta's!!
I used to cycle from Sheung Shui to Yuen Long (and back) long before this cycle track was opened, and I still do. Just not on this cycle track, which is very poorly designed.
How did you do it? On the road or pavement?
why is it so narrow in some areas? A terrible design.
wow thats pretty cool, I live in ma on shan so maybe I'll try that out some day
The guide reminds me of a young Wong Yat-fei, except he is not spazzing out like George from Seinfeld.
Proud Pakistani me understanding both languages
*Can't wait to block it!*

HP Inc Extinction! hopefully! forever! inshallah!
The host of video that orange t-shirt guy is 🔥
I liked chinese❤
liked?
Does that road track lead straight into China prison, 🤣
@Go Livethis guy work at a phone scam company.
If you didn’t do anything bad, no road leads to prison. Otherwise, the prison goes to you.
@@ynffsy2443 "don't do anything bad" you say, like what, criticising the government, condemning corrupted politician, stand up for human right.
@@arifhakimi8735 I don’t think these are what causes someone to be put into jail, unless they do it with the goal of causing disintegration of the country.
Death to India! inshallah!
I don’t know why but I just feel HK is notHK anymore
Hongkong 12 yrs ago and now. Lot of changes but its always been building nad transport system.seeing something like that is of course new and refreshing.
I dont live in HK. Ive been travel since covid been to hk multiple time to go to china, pleasant experience
Seeing this comment section, China's low unemployment is really due to those 50c
