Editorial responsibility: Elena Voss · Roavina Travel Editor

Tai Po District lies in Hong Kong's New Territories as a suburban area built around a traditional market town and satellite developments on reclaimed river estuaries. The Hong Kong Railway Museum documents the region's transport history, while the Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden and Tai Po Waterfront Park provide natural spaces within the district. Multiple viewpoints including Ma On Shan and Tai To Yan reward those seeking elevated perspectives across the landscape.
