Tai Po River

The Tai Po River (Chinese: 大埔河; pinyin: Dapu He) is a river in Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong.

It has many tributaries, with most coming from the Ta Tit Yan, Grassy Hill, Lead Mine Pass and Yuen Tun Ha area.

The tributaries gradually merge as the Tai Po River, which parallels Tolo Highway until Tai Po Market station, where it turns north to meet the Lam Tsuen River.

However, due to the pressing need for development land in the then new town of Tai Po, the land was reclaimed, and the Tai Po River lengthened northwards to flow into the Lam Tsuen River before it enters Tolo Harbour.
