HONG KONG, Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Tuen Mun is home to a collection amazing natural marvels and rich cultural sites, seamlessly connected by Link’s malls in the district – Leung King Plaza, Butterfly Plaza, Fu Tai Shopping Centre and Sam Shing Commercial Centre – and representing one of Hong Kong’s leading leisure destinations.
As the autumn breezes sweep in, Link is proud to announce the return of a new edition of “Tuen Mun Adventure”, grander than its previous iterations. From 22 September to 30 November, Link offers a curated exploration of the finest natural landscapes in Hong Kong with the theme “Adventure Unleashed”. The initiative introduces two scenic trekking trails and two cycling routes.
Broadening the scope of Tuen Mun Adventure, this year’s expanded edition also encompasses the allure of Yuen Long and Tung Chung. Thoughtfully crafted routes intersect with significant cultural landmarks, and additional please retreats at Long Ping Plaza, Fu Tung Plaza and Yat Tung Shopping Centre in these destinations, unveiling their hidden gems while promoting a deeper connection with nature. While maintaining the perennial appeal of hiking and cycling, this year’s addition of a self-driving component adds a new dimension to the adventure. The initiative aims to align participants with nature’s rhythm, creating memorable moments with every step. A standout feature this year is the “two days and one night (2D1N) Car Camping Day”, offering participants a platform to immerse in diverse, exhilarating activities that present nature in a refreshing new perspective.
Tuen Mun Adventure’s two new trekking trails and two new cycling routes are designed by the mountain aficionados CC Wandering and ABCat – both well-known YouTubers. These trails and routes span the expanse from Tuen Mun to Yuen Long and Tung Chung. For moments of rest or refreshment, Link’s malls are strategically situated to facilitate an uninterrupted “Adventure Unleashed” journey. Prepare to navigate through unforgettable landscapes while immersing yourself in an unparalleled exploration experience.
Easy Mountain Biking Routes:
| Timeless Exploration: Unveiling Hidden Wonders along Tung Chung Cycle Track
Starting from Fu Tung Plaza, the first stop takes you to Ma Wan Chung Village and Ma Wan Chung Pier, both echoing over 1,000 years of history. Experience the traditional vibes of the fishing village and enjoy the shimmering seascape from the pier while taking in the leisurely ambiance of Tung Chung. Continue biking to the Hau Wong Bridge, where the landscape unfolds with a vast canvas of mangroves and mudflats. Adjacent, the revered Hau Wong Temple, a Grade II historic landmark in Hong Kong, stands as a testament to the area’s rich heritage. Push forward to Tung Chung Fort, an iconic monument from the Qing Dynasty, brimming with historical significance. For those seeking a quick break or a snack, Yat Tung Shopping Centre awaits nearby. The trail ends near Tung Chung station and, if you are up for it, you can ascend the mountain to watch the mesmerising sunset from a unique vantage point.
