Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋夜) Night Ride: Tai Wai to Tai Mei Tuk & GO Park
Details
Meeting Point: Tai Wai MTR Station, Exit A1
Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with an unforgettable night ride through the scenic countryside from Tai Wai to Tai Mei Tuk and GO Park!
Along the way, we will stop for a group dinner together in Shek Mun or Tai Po, experience the festive magic at Long Mei Beach (龍尾灘) —where beachgoers light candles in the sand, release glowing sky lanterns under the full moon (the reference photos in Album), and gather along the waterfront—take scenic breaks at Sam Mun Tsai and Tseng Tau Pier, and soak in the vibrant Mid-Autumn Festival atmosphere at GO Park before cycling back to Tai Wai.
The Route:
Tai Wai MTR ➔ Shek Mun/Tai Po (Dinner) ➔ Sam Mun Tsai (三門仔) ➔ Long Mei Beach (龍尾灘) ➔ Tai Mei Tuk (大尾督) ➔ GO Park ➔ Tseng Tau Pier (井頭村碼頭) ➔ Return to Tai Wai.
**You can rent a bike at $90
(Basically, rental bikes do come with front and rear lights, but the rental front lights are usually quite weak. So, if possible, it's best to bring your own front light if you have one)
We'll rent bikes at Fresh Bikes (M記單車).
