Outlying Islands - Away from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong city

Hong Kong Outlying Islands Tour 🏖️ Leave the bustling Hong Kong urban area and take a boat to Lamma Island. Lamma Island is the largest outlying island beyond Hong Kong Island. Due to its convenient transportation, it only takes 25 minutes by boat to Central, making it the most visited outlying island by tourists. Hung Shing Yeh Beach is the most important attraction on Lamma Island, and visitors to the island will go there to play in the water and eat seafood. It takes 20 minutes to walk from Yung Shue Wan Pier to Hung Shing Yeh Beach; the island's leisure trail 'Lamma Island Family Walk' connects Yung Shue Wan Pier with Sok Kwu Wan Pier and passes by Hung Shing Yeh Beach. 🚉 Transportation: Take the MTR to Central Station Exit A, walk across the footbridge to Pier No. 4 to take the ferry. There are two piers on Lamma Island for disembarking, Sok Kwu Wan (20 minutes, HKD 17/person) and Yung Shue Wan (30 minutes, HKD 22/person) 📝 Tips: ① The ferry's air conditioning is particularly cold, it is recommended to bring a long-sleeved shirt. ② For a leisurely stroll around the outlying islands, it is recommended to wear comfortable flat shoes for ease. 🏝️ Cheung Chau Island is the most beautiful outlying island in Hong Kong. It is also a classic filming location for TVB dramas. It still retains the characteristics of a fishing port and is suitable for a slow-paced lifestyle. There are no skyscrapers or hurried crowds, just tranquil fishing villages and leisurely passers-by. Take a walk on the island, space out on the beach, and you can also find handicrafts from various places in some small shops. 👍 Highly recommended: There is a food street in the central area with a variety of snacks such as big fish balls, glutinous rice dumplings, and watermelon ice. Additionally, there are many seafood restaurants along the seaside where you can have seafood for dinner. 🚲 There are many shops along the seaside near the pier where you can rent bicycles, with prices generally the same. Approximately HKD 15 per bike per hour, there is also a package of 3 hours for HKD 40! ✅ Must experience: The beaches by the sea and the church, sea views, Cheung Po Tsai Cave, etc. on the mountain are all very worthwhile places to visit. 🌟 About Transportation Take the MTR from Hong Kong Station Exit F, go through the pedestrian footbridge to Central Pier No. 5 to depart. Slow boat ticket $14.2, fast boat ticket $28 (cash and Octopus card only) It's better to buy a fast boat ticket, as there are more frequent departures, air conditioning, faster speed, and comfort! 📝 Tips: ① It is recommended to exchange more cash, as cash is more commonly used on the island, and only a few shops accept WeChat or Alipay. ② Bicycles cannot be ridden on the island on weekends

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
