Hong Kong's little-known paradise - Shek O

I haven't been to Shek O for many years, and it really hasn't changed at all. Walking around Shek O Village, there are few people on weekdays and it is very quiet. It feels like you have accidentally entered a hidden fishing village. Walk to Shek O Beach, sit by the sea to bask in the sun and look at the sea, time seems to slow down. Shek O is not a big place and can be visited in about 1 to 2 hours. This is also the filming location for many Hong Kong films. In the movie "The King of Comedy", the classic dialogue between Stephen Chow and Cecilia Cheung was filmed in Shek O. If you are still interested, you can also visit the nearby Big Wave Bay. Take the Island Line to Shau Kei Wan MTR Station, exit from Exit A3, walk to the bus terminal, and take bus No. 9 to Shek O.

Mussel-Hunting Adventures at Shek O Beach 🦪🌊✨ If you’re up for a unique seaside experience, Shek O is Hong Kong’s laid-back coastal gem where the gentle waves and rocky edges invite you to connect with nature in a hands-on way—mussel picking! 🏖️ Start your day by strolling Shek O Beach’s east side at low tide, when exposed rocks near the cliff base reveal little clusters of wild mussels. Slip on waterproof shoes (those rocks are sharp!) and pack a small bucket for your haul. Mussel gathering here is a fun way to interact with the local seascape—just double-check the water quality before biting into your bounty. Remember, only take what you need and respect the local ecosystem! In between mussel hunting, snap insta-worthy shots with the dramatic ocean cliffs as your backdrop—especially at golden hour, when colours pop and the crowd thins out. Explore the old village lanes for pastel walls and quirky, weathered architecture: perfect for candid beach day photos. ✨ Quick Tips: Shek O is open all day, year-round, but tides matter! Check tide timings for best picking and easier walks. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water—shade is limited. The bus from Shau Kei Wan MTR is easy and drops you super close. Key Precaution: Mussels here aren’t regulated for consumption and Hong Kong’s water quality varies—so only eat them if you know it’s safe, and rinse thoroughly. #HongKong #ShekO #BeachLife #LocalAdventures #NatureExperience
