Bride's Pool Nature Trail — Attraction in Hong Kong

If you are spending some time in Hong Kong, this is a place you must visit. A great place to enjoy nature away from the city life. The waterfall was beautiful and we enjoyed it a lot. Bride’s pool trail entrance is about 25 min drive from Tai Po if you take a taxi. There is a bus that will take about 50 min to get there (20R) from Tai Po but it’s not frequent.

Legend has it that a bride passed by this treacherous part on her way to the wedding. In bad weather, the wedding sedan chair fell into the pool and she was washed down the waterfall. In memories of this ill-fated bride who got drown there, the pool was named Bride's Pool.

Up ahead on the river bed you find pot-holes carved by swirling sand and gravels which are washed down by water seeping through rock joints. This nature trail passes by the Bride's Pool Stone Bridge, which was built in 1906 by local villagers to provide a link between Wu Kau Tang and Chung Mei Village. After the bridge, back to Bride's Pool Road and comes to an...
