The new cycle track linking Yuen Long with Sheung Shui will open for public use tomorrow, marking the completion of the 60km-long bikeway backbone between Tuen Mun and Ma On Shan, the Civil Engineering & Development Department announced today.

The 11-kilometre-long cycle track runs across a number of scenic spots such as the Kam Tin River in Yuen Long and the Long Valley Wetland in Sheung Shui.

It also passes through San Tin where cultural attractions can be found in the vicinity including Tai Fu Tai and Man Tin Cheung Park.

Ancillary facilities are provided en route, such as rest stations and cycle hubs with bicycle rental kiosks, food kiosks and toilets, for cyclists to take a rest or explore nearby attractions.

The Government has been striving to provide a continuous east-west cycle track network in the New Territories by linking up the scattered tracks including the Tuen Mun to Ma On Shan backbone section and the 22km-long Tsuen Wan to Tuen Mun backbone section.

For the Tuen Mun to Ma On Shan backbone, the sections from Sheung Shui to Ma On Shan and from Tuen Mun to Yuen Long were opened in 2014 and 2016.

The public may download and browse the HEeMobility all-in-one mobile application for the route.

For the Tsuen Wan to Tuen Mun backbone, the 2km section between Tsing Tsuen Bridge and Bayview Garden in Tsuen Wan, which is under construction, will open for use early next year, while the remaining tracks will continue to be taken forward.
