Cycle through a different Hong Kong

Another item to strike off on my checklist for Hong Kong. I had been wanting to exercise for the past few weeks. With the weather being unpredictable, I was mostly home. Last Sunday, the sun was inviting me to go out and play, and so I did.

Read online about the Tolo Harbour Cycling Track which is along the seaside, totally tempting. And so I went. 

Shatin MTR station. This is my first time to this station. I was actually very confused at first. Usually the stations/places I go to, the station is newer than this, this is like a few metals put together. I got so excited that I took photos of the station. 


This view already made me happy. Big space makes me a happy girl. Oh yah, by the time I reached there, it was already 6pm. This place is not exactly near the place I stayed, but totally worth it. 

My rental bike and here we go.



This is the scenery along the way. You can actually cycle for 2/3 MTR stations and return the bike at the specified location. But I was there too late, so I need to cycle back to return the bike. 


Made a logical stop at this tower. Such a pretty sight at night. After resting for 5 mins, went all the way back. 

Guess what, I did a 23 km ride. I feel alive again although my thighs and butt do not think the same. I guess due to the time I started, most of the crowds already went home, so it was really good. I want to do this again in winter!

    1. I can't wait for more. But need to recover the butt first. It is still hurting!
