Ma On Shan Promenade

a multi purpose promenade with stunning view. often ppl jog n simply take a walk during the day n after dinner to relax the mind n body. I really should start running sometime… oh one thing to note. they dun allow dogs*=[[ boo!

Ma On Shan Promenade is for sure a 5-​star promenade in Hong Kong for exercises and leisure. Growing up in Shatin, I’ve always thought the Shing Mun River had the best running and cycling trails in town. Until I lived in MOS briefly for 3 months, I discovered this beautiful trail for running. Every now and then, I still run here from Shatin. You can enjoy the breeze here at night if you’re just here for a walk or for a run. Along the promenade, there are water fountains, vending machines and some toilets along the way. For the serious runners, you can run on the official running trail where they have official distance marks for a total distance of 2 km. For the elders who come here for morning exercises, they also have tai chi areas and some stretching equipment.
Besides how well-​equipped it is, my favorite thing about the promenade is the AMAZING view. Towards the end of Ma On Shan, you can see the Plover Cove Reservoir. If the sky is clear, you can look across the river towards towards Chinese University of Hong Kong and watch the sunset.
