Tai Po River

Tai Po River

Tai Po River (zh-t|t=大埔河) is a river in Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong. It has many tributaries, with most coming from Yin Yim Teng, Grassy Hill, and Lead Mine Pass. The tributaries gradually merge as Tai Po River and goes parallel with the Tolo Highway until Tai Po Market KCR Station, where it turns north to meet the Lam Tsuen River.

Before the 1970's, Tai Po River flowed straight out to Tolo Harbour near Tai Po Market Station. However, because there was a desperate need for land in the development of the then new town Tai Po, land was reclaimed, and the Tai Po River was lengthened northwards to flow into the Lam Tsuen River before going out to Tolo Harbour.
