Shatin Pass Road (Chinese: 沙田坳道) is a road in the Wong Tai Sin District of Kowloon, Hong Kong, linking the Wong Tai Sin area in the south to the junction of Fei Ngo Shan Road and Jat's Incline in the north. Along the way, it passes through the Tsz Wan Shan area and Sha Tin Pass.

The northern part of Shatin Pass Road, between Sha Tin Pass and the junction of Fei Ngo Shan Road and Jat's Incline, is part of the Stage 4 of the Wilson Trail and Section 5 of the MacLehose Trail. This section of the road also marks the border between Sha Tin District and Wong Tai Sin District.

History

[edit]

Shatin Pass Road was built by the British Army to access Sha Tin Pass and its remote villages in the Sha Tin District from Kowloon.

The road was damaged by a storm in June 2008, that caused a landslide. It reopened in December, 2008.
