Step by step: Tai Po Market to Lam Tsuen by bus 64K

  1. Take the East Rail line to Tai Po Market Station and leave by Exit A.
  2. Follow the signs through the pedestrian tunnel to the Tai Po Market Station bus terminus.
  3. Board KMB 64K heading for Yuen Long (West). It runs along Lam Kam Road into the Lam Tsuen valley.
  4. Get off at Fong Ma Po (Lam Tsuen Wishing Trees). The stop name includes the wishing tree, and the on-board display shows it.
  5. Cross Lam Kam Road carefully and walk in along Lam Tsuen Heung Kung So Road. The village archway, the protected wishing trees, the Fong Ma Po Tin Hau temple and the Wishing Square are a few minutes ahead.

From Tai Wo Station: leave by Exit A and follow the footbridge to Tai Wo Plaza, where 64K also stops. This is handy if Tai Po Market’s terminus queue is long.

Other ways to Lam Tsuen: minibus 25K, taxi and festival buses

  • Green minibus 25K: runs between the Tai Po Market area (Wai Yan Street side, not inside the MTR terminus) and Lam Tsuen (Pak Ngau Shek) along Lam Kam Road. Press the bell or tell the driver “Fong Ma Po” in good time.
  • Taxi: use a green New Territories taxi from the Tai Po Market or Tai Wo ranks. Show the driver “林村許願樹”. It’s a good choice with young children or grandparents.
  • Lunar New Year festival buses: extra or special routes run in some years. In 2026, KMB ran a festival route 63R between Tai Wo Station and Lam Tsuen. Check KMB announcements each year rather than relying on last year’s plan.
  • Driving: parking near the village is limited and very tight at festival time, so public transport is easier.

Pay with Octopus or a contactless card where accepted.

Getting back from Lam Tsuen and planning your time

  • Return: catch 64K or 25K towards Tai Po Market from the stop on the opposite side of Lam Kam Road.
  • Time on site: about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours on an ordinary day. Allow much longer during the Chinese New Year festival.
  • Wishing Square hours: commonly listed as about 9am–5pm on ordinary days, and longer during the festival. The trees stand in the open beside the village road. Arrive well before closing.
  • Access: the Square has ramps. The Tin Hau temple entrance has steps.
