Bird Watching Cycle Tour - Shan Pui River

It's happy to hear that really have people waiting for the update. Thanks for your support my friend!

This time I will show you the most popular way for bird watching - Shan Pui River.



The river between Nam Sang Wai Road and Pok Wai South Road is Kam Tin River. 


Just stay on the road and look out to Kam Tin River.


At the two river meeting point ( Kam Tin River & Shan Pui River ), you can also see Mai Po Wetlands.


I think this photo already prove how good is this place for bird watching.


The end of Nam Sang Wai Road, here is Nam Sang Wai.


For bicycle tour, if you don't want to return by the same way, you may keep on by a small road.



At the end of the small road, you need to cross a small river by a small boat.



A small boat in the southern part of Nam Sang Wai serves as a traditional ferry transportation across the Kam Tin River towards the village of Shan Pui Tsuen, north of Yuen Long Kau Hui.
