The MTR Bus (Northwest New Territories) Route K66A runs between MTR Long Ping Station and Tai Tong Shan Road, only on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays during the annual red leaf viewing season (November to January).
This route is a semi-express route with no stops between Long Ping Station and Tai Tong Road for both directions and only one stop at Tai Tong Roundabout in the direction of Tai Tong Shan Road. (When there are large crowds, some services in the direction of Long Ping will not stop at Tai Tong Road to speed up the return trip)
Route K66A, formerly a special departure of Route K66 during the red leaf viewing season, was given an independent route number in 2020 to facilitate passenger identification.
