冬季來臨，氣溫驟降，是觀賞紅葉的最佳時節。元朗大棠的楓香林亦踏入全盛期初期，能欣賞到壯觀的紅葉海，可是人山人海。要賞紅葉但避開人潮，特別推薦秘境大埔九坦租，有全港最高的楓香樹，數目不多，但人流亦不多。

冬季來臨，氣溫驟降，是觀賞紅葉的最佳時節。元朗大棠的楓香林亦踏入全盛期初期，剛出爐的大棠紅葉指數已由黃轉紅。到訪的話就能欣賞到壯觀的紅葉海，可是人山人海。

要賞紅葉但避開人潮，特別推薦一個秘境大埔九坦租，有全港最高的楓香樹，數目不多，但人流亦不多。從大埔烏蛟騰村出發，往九担租方向步行5-10分鐘便看到，道路平坦易行。有興趣行山的話，可繼續前往三椏灣、三椏涌、下苗田、上苗田，亦有紅葉踪影。

交通：大埔墟火車站的 20R 綠色專線小巴可直達烏蛟騰，每小時一班。

With the advent of autumn and winter and the sudden drop in temperature, it is the best time for autumn leaves viewing. The Sweet Gum Woods in Tai Tong, Yuen Long is approaching their peak viewing time, and the newly released Tai Tong Red Leaf Index has turned from yellow to red. If you visit, you can enjoy the magnificent sea of autumn leaves, but it is extremely crowded.

If you want to enjoy the autumn leaves but avoid the crowds, I especially recommend a secret gem at Kau Tam Tso, Tai Po, which has the highest sweet gum trees in Hong Kong. There are not many trees, but much less viewers. Just 5 to 10 minutes walk from Wu Kou Tang Village, Tai Po, in the direction of Kau Tam Tso and you will arrive. The path is smooth and easy. If you are interested in hiking, you can continue to San Ah Wan, Lower and Upper Miu Tin, while enjoying spotty autumn leaves along the way.

Transportation: Take green minibus 20R from Tai Po Market Station to Wu Kau Tang, leaves every hour.–
