Lam Tsuen River

The Lam Tsuen River (Chinese: 林村河; pinyin: lam4 cyun1 ho4) is a river in Tai Po District, Hong Kong, with a length of 10.8 kilometres and a catchment area of approximately 21 square kilometres.

[1] It originates in Tai Mo Shan Country Park on the hill Sze Fong Shan, and joins other watercourses in the Lam Tsuen Valley.

Kwong Fuk Bridge (廣福橋) is a footbridge across the Lam Tsuen River.

[2] In early December 1941, the invading Japanese army crossed the bridge, then a steel girder construction, as they moved south.

[1] A structure built in 1957 was replaced by the present version, which is in an ancient architectural style.
