Bride's Pool, Tai Po

The famous waterfall at Bride's Pool in the rural New Territories. Legend has it that the name derives from a time 100 years ago, when a young Chinese bride was thrown headlong into the pool as she was being transported in a bridal chair across a slippery bridge over the waters. It is said that the waters took on an appearance of such beauty that villagers felt nature herself mourned the death of the young bride.
