Old Scenery of Tuen Mun: A Timed Walk from Butterfly Bay to Tsing Shan Temple

Many people think of Tuen Mun as just a new town, but it actually hides unexpected history and scenery. Starting from Butterfly Bay Beach, walking along the coast to the old Tsing Shan Road, you can see the architectural outlines left from the old holiday resort style. Then climb the steps up to Tsing Shan Zen Temple, a Tang-style temple known as the "Shaolin Temple of Hong Kong." In its tranquility, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Tuen Mun, full of ancient charm.
Next to the temple is the Tsing Shan Ancient Trail, which was once a water-carrying path for local villagers and has now become a hiking route. This journey allows you to explore the origins of Hong Kong’s Buddhist culture while enjoying the serene mountain and sea scenery, a rare slow travel experience for city dwellers.
