Hong Kong| If you don't come to Cheung Chau Island, you're missing out

| If you don't come to Cheung Chau Island, you're missing out. 👋As a child who grew up inland, I get excited at the sight of the sea. The vast sea is always breathtaking. Although I have seen the sea in different places, the sea in Hong Kong never disappoints. This time I came to McDull's hometown - Cheung Chau Island. Good weather and beautiful sea views are breathtaking. 🗒️Here is my travel guide: Central MTR Station A - Walk to Central Pier No.5 - Alipay scan code on site - Ferry direct to Cheung Chau Island Cheung Chau Island route: 🚏 There are two directions after getting off the boat: To the right➡️: Cheung Chau Pier - Tung Wan Road - Tai Hing Praya Road/Cheung Chau Sai Praya Road - Sai Wan Tin Hau Temple - Cheung Po Tsai Cave To the left⬅️: Cheung Chau Pier - Pak She Praya Road - Pak Tai Playground - Pak Kok Pavilion - Pak Kok Tsui 🏝️Because there are local residents living on the island, there are some shops for tourists and local residents. I personally think the commercialization is okay. You can try mango glutinous rice dumplings, 16-17 Hong Kong dollars each. There are also some restaurants for tourists on the island, you can decide whether to try it based on the actual situation. 🌊On the way to Pak Kok Pavilion, some beaches appeared along the coast. The sea water is clear and the beach sand is milky white under the sun. The air is salty. There are very few people on the beach. If I have enough time, I would like to lie on the beach for an afternoon, facing the blue sky, listening to the sound of the waves hitting the beach, and the occasional chirping of small 🕊️ birds. At this moment, I don't want to think about anything, it's very chill. ⛰️When you climb up to Pak Kok Tsui, you may feel exhausted, but when you overlook the whole beautiful scenery, you just want to say it's all worth it. The beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain cannot be described in words, and there are not many people. I suddenly envy Hong Kong people. This city has convenient transportation, modern buildings, a combination of Chinese and Western food, and the sea and mountains where you can relax at any time. In summary, Cheung Chau Island is worth visiting and seeing. If I have the chance, I will come again next time!

Cheung Chau

Cheung Chau, Hong Kong, has always been the king of choice for locals to relax on weekends! From Central, take the ferry and jump away from the rhythm of the city to a small island with unbeatable sea views, village houses, and human touch. This time I share a half-day trip to Cheung Chau, suitable for sunny days out - hiking and seeing the sea + leisurely eating snacks, is definitely the perfect combination to Chill and enjoy the leisure time! 🌊List of Trip Highlights: - Enjoy the view of Victoria Harbor by ferry and enter the slow pace of Cheung Chau Island - Explore the cuisine around the pier, the super-sized fishballs must try - Walk along the coastal hiking trail to enjoy the sea breeze and watch the sunset - Take a random picture of the blue sky sea view, the city worries are all thrown away! 📍Attraction Recommendation: 1. Cheung Chau Ferry Terminal Location: Cheung Chau, Hong Kong From Central Pier, the boat ride is about 1 hour, the boat has a strong sea breeze, you can feel the sea view of Victoria Harbor + South China Sea. After getting off the boat, there are many souvenir shops next to the pier. Big fish balls, coconut milk cool and sweet drinks, shark fin soup, mango glutinous rice dumplings, etc. are popular choices for tourists. Recommendation: The big fishball shop across the pier, a portion of 2 super giant size, Q bomb enough flavor, must eat! 2. Humanity + natural scenery around Cheung Chau Island From the pier, you can see old-style fishing village huts and colorful murals everywhere along the loop around the island. You can explore the most popular "Northern Emperor Temple" or "Cheung Po Tsai Cave", and then walk along the seaside hiking trail. It is recommended to start from East Bay Beach to the observation deck, walk slowly, take pictures while, 1–2 hours easily done. Several times on the way you can see clear water intertwined with distant buildings, perfect for taking pictures! ⛰️ Personal test tips: - Choose a sunny day out, the sky in Cheung Chau is beautifully blue, and the sea view is particularly healing - The hiking trail is mainly by the sea, some roads are more sunny, it is best to bring a hat and sunscreen - Breathable sneakers are recommended for easy uphill and downhill journeys - Some snack bars serve different hours in the morning and afternoon 🍴Food Recommendations: - Big Fish Balls opposite Cheung Chau Ferry Terminal (neighbors strongly recommend!) - Island handmade mango glutinous rice dumplings, coconut milk drinks 🚢Transportation Guide: - To Cheung Chau, you can take a ferry (ordinary/express ferry) at Central Pier, the journey is about 1 hour, and the frequency is more frequent on holidays - You can also choose a fast boat to and from the city, which saves time and is comfortable ✅ Island Ecosystem Tips: - Although Cheung Chau is small, it is crowded on weekends/holidays, so it is recommended to avoid the daytime peak - Some seats near the pier overlook the sea, suitable for slow chill eating - Some sections of the hike are uncovered, remember to refill! When you go to Cheung Chau, you have to take your time. When you are tired from walking, sit down and eat fishballs, blow the sea breeze and look at the distant view. It is definitely the best healing trip for urbanites! If you are planning to relax on the weekend, you might as well choose a good weather to go and experience a day of "slow life" Cheung Chau! #CheungChauDayTrip #HongKongIslandTrip #WharfFood #Hiking andSeaSea #LocalChillLife #CheungChau
