Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Its a park with cycling and walking tracks. One side of it is the motorway and the other side is Tolo Harbour. The tract provides toilets, resting area with tables and chairs.

We hired bikes on the river front in Shatin near Shatin park. There are dedicated cycle paths so that you can ride safely along the Shing Mun River and around Tolo Harbour and past the university. It is such a fun ride and not difficult. We advise cycling all around the harbour to Tai Mei Tuk where you can have views over Plover Cove and enjoy some nice food too. You can cycle one way and drop your bikes off at Tai Mei Tuk just let the bike shop know you want this when you hire. It is slightly more expensive.
The ride around the harbour is spectacular and I never get bored. There is a waterfront park where you can enjoy the views and there are lots of loo and refreshment stops.

I'd seen the cycle tracks near my hotel, and read reviews here that it's nice to cycle Tolo Harbour. The reviews were definitely right! I cycled from Sha Tin, went to Tai Po water park, then on to the dam.
In Sha Tin I'd seen lots of green bikes, so I took a closer look and found they belong to a company called Gobee.bike. You download an app, find a nearby green bike, scan it's code from your phone, pay deposit using Apple Pay or similar, then the bike magically unlocks itself! The beauty of these bikes is they only cost HKD5 per half hour and you drop them wherever you like!
I got tired going back to Sha Tin, so I just locked it up and got the bus back to the hotel again!
The views along the cycle path are really nice, and midweek fairly quiet. Judging by the number of cycle hire places enroute, and from what I've heard, weekends can be very busy. There's plenty of places to get drinks, snacks, and more along the way.

Tolo Harbour is the seafront from Sha Tin to Tai Po. There's a hiking and cycle path along the whole of the harbour, stretching fronm Ma On Shan to Tai Po.
Very pleasant hike and even more pleasant cycle ride as it's flat and along the edge of the coastline.

Autumn is the best season in HK. Low humidity, nice temperature. Riding along Tolo harbour is enjoyable with the seashore view. Taipo has lots of local food. If you have time, BBQ in Tai Mei Tuk in the evening, is a full day program.

I cannot understand why this is called Tolo Harbour. It is basically both a walkway and cycle track around this beautiful bay. You can walk or jog around the bay across to see the big Kwan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) statute on the other side of the bay from the Science Park and University side. If you happen to be a resident or visitor to the many condo developments you can get lovely views of bay on a clear day. You can hire bicycles by the hour from several shops around the bay. In the evenings, people take strolls and cycle rides as well as fly powerful drones out to the water.
This place definitely does not feel like being in Hong Kong if you associate HK with downtown Mongkok or Causeway Bay. Come here for the day if you need to get away from the hustle and bustle. If you have a car you can drive across to many other beautiful spots for BBQ and peaceful villages.

This is a surprisingly beautiful and tranquil little harbour, tucked away in a rarely visited part of Hong Kong - The New Territories.
The harbour can be reached from the nearby Tai Po Waterfront park and it's possible to take a stroll along its bank.
It features several islands and the skyline of Ma On Shan.

Tolo is a surprisingly attractive harbour in Hong Kong. It can be seen and experienced from communities of Ma On Shan, CUHK University, Science Park until you reach Tai Po.
Of historical interest, Tolo Harbour was a rich pearl bed during many centuries ago. However, overhunting and collecting resulted in pearl oyster extinction by the Ming dynasty. Today the harbour is a sheltered area and recreation area for skiers, kayakers, rowers.
There are miles of promenade for walking, jogging and biking now, providing hours of less leisure area for those wanting to spend some time outside in less crowded areas of Hong Kong. Occasional fishing trawlers can be seen as well as local fisherman working these waters. Most enjoy the harbour by way of the promenade mentioned above.
Note: There is park area in Ma On Shan and Tai Po providing access to the harbour. The promenade along the Shing Mun River (canal) runs by Sha Tin Park as well. Between Science Park and Tai Po there is nature reserve area as well for forrest walks and hikes.

I have been to so many harbours around! and this one is few of the things I like. It's quite peaceful as compared to the ones busy that I have been to. The view is nice and the people arent that noisy!

Tolo Harbour is a quiet peaceful and lovely harbour with great views of mountain and outlined islands ... Seeing the fishing boats and sun set is just a great piece of moment in life you will never forget ... It is also a great place for fishing and jogging !!
