Station design
Planning and design works for Au Tau Station, including preliminary design, feasibility studies, ground investigation, etc., are underway. Stay tuned for updates!
Sha Po Marsh
Located in the Sha Po Development Area, the marsh is rich in biodiversity and is a habitat for migratory birds, insects, amphibians and reptiles. The internationally near-threatened damselfly four-spot midget, also known as mortonagrion hirosei was found in the area earlier. Prior to the commencement of railway construction, we will first conduct ecological surveys and environmental assessment studies to ensure potential impacts on the ecology are minimised as far as possible.
Kam Tin River
It has the second-highest river source in Hong Kong. The main stream flows down the steep slope on the northwestern side of Tai Mo Shan, then enters the Kam Tin Plain and Nam Sang Wai, later converging with the Shan Pui River before entering Deep Bay. There is a cycling track along the river where visitors can enjoy the scenery while cycling.
Au Tau Station
The proposed Au Tau Station is one of the intermediate stations on the Northern Link, which will mainly serve surrounding communities. Knowing the highly ecologically valued Sha Po Marsh is located in Au Tau, while developing the new railway, we will make our best endeavours to protect the environment, ensuring the sustainability of the ecology in the area.

Hung Mo Kiu traverses the middle stream of the Kam Tin River. It was initially a temporary iron bridge built by British troops stationed in Hong Kong, whom the villagers later referred to as "Hung Mo Guai" i.e. "red-haired ghosts". Hence, Hung Mo Kiu i.e. "bridge of the red-haired ghosts" was named after it. Ko Po Path is located below Hung Mo Kiu.

History of Au Tau Primary and Secondary School
Founded in 1904, Yuen Long Government Primary School has a history spanning over a century. Originally built in a style with red bricks, the exterior walls have now been covered in white paint. Yuen Long Public Secondary School was established in 1949 and funded by the local gentry of Yuen Long, it is the oldest secondary school in the New Territories. The original site of Yuen Long Public Secondary School was formerly the Yuen Long Au Tau Police Station. It was built during the British colonial period with a large number of British troops stationed, which has served as the symbol of taking over the New Territories on behalf of the United Kingdom. Currently, it is the site of the Tung Hwa Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) C Y Ma Memorial College.
