Bride's Pool, Natural pool and waterfall system in Tai Po District, Hong Kong

Bride's Pool is a water system with multiple cascading waterfalls and deep pools located in Plover Cove Country Park. The water flows continuously through rocky terrain, creating a series of natural pools of varying sizes.

The pool's name comes from a legend, recorded in local lore, that a bride being carried in a sedan chair by four porters from Tai Mei Tuk towards Sha Tau Kok fell into the water and drowned when a porter slipped on a blood-stained rock. The site was originally called Chat Neung Tan (七娘壇), sometimes written 七娘潭, before the bride story gave it its present name. The nearby Bride's Pool Road has itself seen several traffic accidents, which local accounts link to the same legend.

The name comes from a local legend about a bride whose sedan chair fell into the stream during a storm on her wedding day.

Minibus 20R from Tai Po Market MTR station runs to Wu Kau Tang, passing the pool; bus 275R runs directly on Sundays and public holidays. If you take bus 75K or minibus 20C to Tai Mei Tuk instead, the pool is a 40-minute walk or a taxi ride away. The rocks around the falls are slippery after rain.

The pool's original name was Chat Leung Tan (七娘壇), sometimes written Chat Leung Tam, before it became Bride's Pool; the source records this in a history of New Territories street names. The road leading to the pool, Bride's Pool Road, has itself seen several traffic accidents, which local accounts link to the bride legend.
