Plover Cove Country Park, National park and protected area in Tai Po District, Hong Kong.
Plover Cove Country Park covers 4,594 hectares of the northeastern New Territories, from the shores of Plover Cove Reservoir to the Double Haven islets and Ping Chau. Its rocks include some of Hong Kong's oldest formations, at Wong Chuk Kok Tsui and Ping Chau, and the park holds Bride's Pool and its waterfall.
Plover Cove Country Park was designated on 7 April 1978, covering 4,594 hectares in the Northeastern New Territories. On 1 June 1979, a northern extension added the Double Haven islets and Ping Chau as Plover Cove (Extension) Country Park.
The Wu Kau Tang village within the park displays traditional Hakka architecture with tiled roofs and bamboo groves that have stood for centuries. Residents continue to use these spaces for daily life, keeping their building and living traditions alive.
The park has four waymarked routes: the Bride's Pool Nature Trail, the Lai Chi Wo Nature Trail, the Plover Cove Reservoir Country Trail and the Tai Mei Tuk Family Walk. Some stone toilets, including accessible cubicles, are cleaned daily, and barbecue sites are at Ha Ha Lo and Tai Mei Tuk. The terrain is hilly, so wear proper footwear and carry water.
Bride's Pool waterfall has a large plunge pool where, according to local stories, a bride drowned during her wedding journey. This tale has shaped the place's character over time.
