  • Tai Po is an area in the New Territories of Hong Kong. It refers to the vicinity of the traditional market towns in the area presently known as Tai Po Old Market or Tai Po Kau Hui (大埔舊墟) (originally Tai Po Market or Tai Po Town) and the Tai Wo Town (Tai Wo Market) on the other side of the Lam Tsuen River, near the old Tai Po Market Station of the Kowloon-Canton Railway (British Section). Administratively, it is part of the Tai Po District. Both market towns became part of the Tai Po New Town in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In present-day usage, "Tai Po". may refer to the area around the original market towns (i.e. Tai Po proper), the new town, or the entire Tai Po District. There is an apocryphal story that Tai Po was originally called Tai Po (大步), lit. big step. Once upon a time it was a big forest with tigers. People wanted to pass through the forest faster by walking in big steps. 大步 and 大埔 are pronounced similarly in Cantonese.
