Short comments:
There are several accessible toilets for handicapped visitors in the park, but some ramps are blocked by railings and need to be bypassed. There are too few signs and maps to provide clear guidance for tourists.

 

 


Most barbecue stoves have fixed seats around them, which, however, are too narrow for a wheelchair.



Hint:
The wide walkways in the park are partially floored with boards, but many of the boards are damaged and marked with red adhesive tape and should be crossed with caution.

Kwun Yam Statue

Before the reclamation started at Butterfly Beach, a promontory protruded on the southwest side of Castle Peak Bay in Tuen Mun, which was formerly known as Pak Kok and is now where Kwun Yam Statue locates. Fishermen in the Tuen Mun area would worship Kwun Yam before going to the sea and pray for blessings on a safe journey. Over time, believers built Kwun Yam Temple at the beach of Butterfly Beach. Now, the incense and candle in the temple is still prosperous, and Buddhism organizations regularly hold Dharma services and Buddhist philosophy lectures here, attracting many faithful believers.

A Hong Kong film which shot the scene of long dike's lighthouse at the end of Tuen Mun Promenade and made it to feel like being in Japan, makes it a photogenic spot attractive for numerous tourists.

Short comments:
Starting from Tuen Mun Beach Park and ending at Tuen Mun Marina Garden House 1, Tuen Mun Promenade is divided into east and west sections around the central point of Tuen Mun Ferry Pier. In the east section, there are two viewing stands which are connected by stairways and not wheelchair accessible. However, wheelchair users may still enjoy the sea view on the waterfront and at the end of the long dike.

 

Hint:
As the west section is cut off by stairs without any prompt along the way, handicapped tourists need to turn back and go to Butterfly Beach Park through the ramp. In the middle section, there is also a toilet for tourists near Tuen Mun Richland Garden Shopping Arcade.
