Timeline

  1. 10:00

    Hong Kong Railway Museum

    Arrive at the Hong Kong Railway Museum right when it opens at 10AM. This is the quietest time to explore the seven railway coaches and two locomotives in the open-air setting without the midday rush.

  2. 11:00

    Tai Po Hui Market

    Walk 6 minutes to Tai Po Hui Market for lunch. The stalls here offer a variety of culinary styles for around $10 a dish. Order the fried pork chop noodles or fish ball noodles to get a taste of local favourites.

  3. 12:00

    Tai Po Waterfront Park

    Take a 27-minute walk to Tai Po Waterfront Park. This is the largest park in the district and offers a 1.2km promenade, rest-gardens, and sitting-out areas to relax and digest your meal.

Local tip

The museum is closed on Tuesdays, so plan your visit for Monday or Wednesday through Sunday. The waterfront park is a great place to linger if the weather is pleasant.
