Map of Ta Kwu Ling, Hong Kong
Ta Kwu Ling is one of three new development areas currently being planned for North District, in parallel with Fanling North and Kwu Tung North.
Its name is frequently heard in weather reports, since it often experiences the highest and lowest daily temperatures in Hong Kong, due to its inland location. Temperatures near 0 °C (32 °F) occur once every few years, while daily minimum temperatures of 5 °C (41 °F) or less are not uncommon during winter.
One of the three strategic landfills in use in Hong Kong is located in Ta Kwu Ling.
Before January 4, 2016, parts of Ta Kwu Ling fell within the Frontier Closed Area and a Closed Area Permit was required.
Transport
The area is far from its nearest major road, Sha Tau Kok Road, connecting Fanling to Sha Tau Kok. Branch roads connect to the major road via the Ping Che area in the south.
