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.
Address: Butterfly Beach, Tuen Mun
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.
