==Tourist attractions== {{copyedit section|date=December 2023}} ===Tuen Mun Town Centre=== Tuen Mun Town Centre is the main attraction of the district. It features a range of cultural events, entertainment facilities, and several government buildings, which include [[Tuen Mun Town Plaza]], Tuen Mun Cultural Square, Tuen Mun Town Hall, [[Tuen Mun Public Library]], [[Tuen Mun Park]], Tuen Mun Law Courts, Tuen Mun Central Post Office and Tuen Mun Government Offices. ===Lung Kwu Tan=== {{main|Lung Kwu Tan}} Lung Kwu Tan Village has a history of several hundred years. It is located southwest of [[Castle Peak, Hong Kong|Castle Peak]], and consists of Lung Kwu Tan and Lung Kwu Sheung Tan. It is said that [[Emperor Bing of Song]] travelled south to Lung Kwu Tan when he fled from the invading [[Mongols]]. There is a cave at Lung Kwu Tan known as the Emperor's Cave, presumably where Emperor Bing took refuge during his stay. Other famous spots include the [[Tin Hau Temple]] and the Bogy's Rock. While Lung Kwu Tan is a place of primitive simplicity, the opening of privately run [[barbecue]] sites have drawn a substantial amount of tourists. ===Dragon Boat Racing=== Every year at [[Tuen Ng Festival]] ({{lang|zh-Hant-HK|η«―εη―}}), which is the fifth day of the fifth [[lunar month]], [[dragon boat]] races take place at [[Castle Peak Bay]]. This venue is one of the few places where this international cultural and sports event takes place. Every year, many people from different companies or organisations join the competition, which attracts crowds to watch the race. Examples include the Tuen Mun District Dragon Boat Race 2025, which was hosted by the Tuen Mun District Dragon Boat Race Committee. ===Reptile House=== Located in [[Tuen Mun Park]], the Reptile House is home to 29 species of reptiles. It opened in 1999 and is operated by the [[Leisure and Cultural Services Department]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://ilovehongkong.org/tuen-mun-park-new-territories-hong-kong/ |title=Tuen Mun Park - The Largest Public Park in the New Territories, Hong Kong |website=I Love Hong Kong |date=12 August 2013 |access-date=17 February 2019}}</ref> ===Tsing Chuen Wai=== {{main|Tsing Chuen Wai}} [[Tsing Chuen Wai]] (ιη£ε, lit. green bricks walled village) is situated in the northern part of Tuen Mun near Lam Tei Tsuen. Tsing Chuen Wai used to be known as Mak Yuen Wai (i.e. Wheat Field Walled Village). Its present name came from the village's surrounding protective walls made of green bricks. Tsing Chuen Wai is mainly populated by the To Clan. The only surviving portion of the original green-brick boundary wall at the main entrance of the Wai contrasts with the newly constructed archway.<ref name="18 Districts" /> ===Tuen Mun Public Riding School=== Opened in 1994, [https://corporate.hkjc.com/corporate/english/jc-news-and-activities/jc-equestrian-development/public-riding-schools/tm/tm-index.aspx Tuen Mun Public Riding School] is located at Lung Mun Road and adjacent to [[Tuen Mun Ferry Pier]]. The school, which occupies an area of 3.58 hectares, is the largest public riding school in Hong Kong.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Leisure and Cultural Services Department - Public Riding Schools - Tuen Mun Public Riding School |url=https://www.lcsd.gov.hk/en/prs/tm.html |access-date=2025-01-29 |website=www.lcsd.gov.hk}}</ref> The [[Hong Kong Jockey Club]], which contributed $50 million for the construction of the school, is also its management agent. The school is well equipped with three paddocks for riding practice, covering a total area of 8,150 square metres. Apart from riding training, the school also organises family-friendly activities. ===Hong Kong Gold Coast=== {{main|Hong Kong Gold Coast}} Hong Kong's [[Gold Coast (Hong Kong)|Gold Coast]] is the largest tourist resort in Tuen Mun.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-12-09 |title=HOME - Gold Coast Main |url=https://www.goldcoast.com.hk/en/ |access-date=2025-01-29 |website=Gold Coast Main - Nature. Leisure. Pleasure. |language=en}}</ref> Its facilities comprise a resort hotel, a convention centre, a shopping mall, a marina club, the Golden Beach and the newly constructed Hong Kong Gold Coast Dolphin Square. The Golden Beach is located at 18.5 Miles, Castle Peak Road, adjacent to the Cafeteria New Beach. It is the largest public beach in Tuen Mun, and the first artificial beach in Hong Kong. The 545-metre long beach has a total area of 7.85 hectares. Tropical trees, like coconut, and flowers of various species, are planted on both sides of a 480-metre long promenade running parallel to it. Hong Kong Gold Coast sits close to [[Castle Peak Bay]]. The complex in European style replicates the Mediterranean Sentiment. Opened since July 1995, the Gold Coast Montmartre is the first arena of its kind in Hong Kong for street art and culture. The Art Promenade, located at the seashore outside the Marina Magic Shopping Mall, includes amateur handicrafts such as monochrome drawing, cartoon figure drawing, ornament design, ceramics, rice art, model making, stained sand, colour dyeing, etc. Performances such as Western verse recital, live bands and classical music are put on at the Cultural Square, which provides an open stage for both professionals and amateurs. ===Hung Lau=== {{main|Red House (Hong Kong)}} Hung Lau is located in Chung Shan Park at Lung Mun Road and adjacent to Castle Peak Farm. Hung Lau faces southeast with Pui To Peak at its back, overlooking the sea off Tuen Mun and facing Lantau Island further across it. The area near the present Butterfly Estate was uninhabited in the late Qing dynasty and was accessible by water transport only. Legends state that Hung Lau became a base for the revolutionaries of the Revive China Society. It was said that secret meetings convened by Dr. Sun Yat-sen and other revolutionaries for planning the Huang Hua-Gang Uprising and the Huizhou Uprising took place at Hung Lau. It was also where they took oath and got their ammunition and food supplies. Thus, Hung Lau has been of great significance to the Nationalist Revolution. A monument to Dr. Sun, a bust of him, a reproduction of his will and a gomuti palm tree planted by the revolutionary martyrs can also be found in Chung Shan Park. ===Tuen Mun Golf Centre=== The Tuen Mun Golf Centre, located at Lung Mun Road, is the first public golf driving range in Hong Kong. Opened in 1995, the centre occupies an area of 48,500 square metres. The centre contains a 91-bay driving range, a practice green, a cafeteria and a golf shop. It provides training courses of different levels to cater for both beginners and advanced golf lovers. Take LRT route No. 610, 615 or 615P and alight at [[Light Rail Depot stop]], or KMB route No. 59A, 59M, 59X or 259D, or Citybus route No. 962 and alight at Sun Tuen Mun Centre.<ref name="18 Districts">{{cite web|url=http://www.gohk.gov.hk/eng/welcome/tm_spots.html?spots=9 |title=Hong Kong Fun in 18 Districts β Welcome to 18 Districts |publisher=Gohk.gov.hk |date=29 June 2012 |access-date=24 October 2012}}</ref>
