Tai Po Waterfront Park

It is located along the Tolo Harbour, and its western end is at the northern part of the mouth of the Lam Tsuen River.

It occupies an area of 22 hectares (54 acres), and is the largest park managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.

The park has a wide range of public facilities including rest gardens, sitting-out areas, an insect house, a 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) promenade along the harbour front, a jogging trail with fitness stations and a 600-seat amphitheatre.

The lookout tower is 32.4 metres (106 ft) high and gives visitors a panoramic view over Tolo Harbour, the Tai Po Industrial Estate and the rugged countryside stretching back to the boundary with mainland China.

The plaques of the lookout tower depict the history of Tai Po, including the struggle with the British army when they originally entered the New Territories, the heroic resistance against the Japanese army during the occupation and prosperity after World War II.
