    Tai Po - Hilltop Garden

    Happened to visit the place today and quite enjoyed it. Prices seem very reasonable for a floor + roof top house.

    Gathered there is a shuttle bus to the MTR and CCTV cameras and management in the estate.


    Any ppl living there or nearby/ pros and cons?


    I'm working in Admiralty and my wife in Kowloon Tong.

    Thanks

    I nearly bought a duplex there when I first moved to HK but realised that I would need a car. Yes, it has a shuttle bus but I am not sure it is that frequent (maybe every 30 mins? I don't see it very often at the station drop off point), and the walk down through Pun Shan Chau area (it's a 10/15 minute walk down to the main road to catch a minibus) is one where you have to avoid stray dogs (or at least owned dogs that are left to wander by themselves all day and get a bit lary when you pass by)

    Having said that, it's a lovely location, the whole valley is fairly quiet, and there is a pretty temple nearby called Fung Loi Leung Yuen. It's also very convenient if you like hiking (Wilson Trail nearby plus Tai Po Kau Nature Trails).

    If you do have a car its very convenient for the highway which is at the bottom of the valley.

    Thanks, I have no car but would not mind buying one (wife has a car park in Kowloon Tong for 1K a month so I could drive from home to KT and then MTR to admiralty).

    I may check further in this area. if anyone has any additional info, greatly appreciated!
