Route 51 is a bus service operated by Kowloon Motor Bus (KMB) in Hong Kong's New Territories. It connects Tsuen Wan (Nina Tower) with Sheung Tsuen, a village in Pat Heung running via the steep and tortuous Route Twisk.
This route is the only public transport running along the whole length of Route Twisk, which is considered by its operator to be a kind of corporate social responsibility, providing a minimum service for the area along. It is the only bus route that serves the bus stop at the highest altitude in Hong Kong, and the first route to deploy double-decker buses on a mountainous route with steep gradients.
