Hong Kong's "Elf Cliff Fall" is so beautiful it leaves you speechless!

Get there directly for just HKD40 ⭐️ I was blown away! What a heavenly coast, unbelievably comfortable. Who knew Hong Kong 🇭🇰 had such a treasure of an island, so beautiful it brings tears to your eyes!!! Hong Kong's version of "Elf Cliff Fall" 🧗‍♀️ has a unique name: Tung Lung Chau, a Hong Kong island paradise perfect for whiling away the time. Listen to the sound of the waves 🌊 crashing against the rocks, and simply unwind. Camping here 🏕️ is pure bliss! 🙂‍↔️ 🚈 How to get there: Go to the nearest subway station and take the subway to Sai Wan Ho Station Exit B or Yau Tong Station Exit A2. 🚇 Suggested routes: 🅰️ Cross the border from Futian Port, take the East Rail Line to Admiralty Station, transfer to the Island Line (towards Chai Wan) to Sai Wan Ho Station Exit B. After exiting the subway, walk for about 10 minutes to Shau Kei Wan Typhoon Shelter Pier and take a ferry. 🅱️ After crossing the border from Futian Port, take the MTR East Rail Line to Kowloon Tong Station, transfer to the Kwun Tong Line to Yau Tong Station Exit A2, and walk 15 minutes to Sam Ka Tsuen Pier. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ (Note: boats from the above two piers operate on holidays and weekends. Round-trip tickets cost HKD45-55 per person and can be paid for in cash or with an Octopus card). The journey to the island takes about 30 to 40 minutes. Day-trippers should pay attention to the return times. 🚶‍♀️ How to get around: The Tung Lung Chau sightseeing route is divided into the South Route and the North Route. It is recommended to hike around the island, starting from the North Route in a clockwise direction. Download the trail map in advance. One day is a bit tight, so it will be more relaxing to spend two days walking the South Route or the North Route. Suggested routes: South Route: The route is longer. If you take the boat from Sai Wan Ho, get off at the first pier, Nam Tong Pier. After going ashore, walk along the steps. There are shops. Follow the signs to the right. The hiking difficulty is moderate. The main attraction is the White Cliff. North Route: The attractions are concentrated, the scenery is spectacular, and the time required is shorter. Those taking the boat from Sai Wan Ho should get off at the second pier, North Pier. Camping equipment can be prepared in this area. After disembarking, turn left for the Holiday Store and turn right for the White Cliff. It is recommended to take the North Route first if you only have one day, including attractions such as the campsite, lighthouse, and Water Spraying Rock. Tips ✅: There are shops on the island. It is recommended to bring your own food and water, pay attention to sun protection, protect the environment, take away your trash, and practice Leave No Trace camping!!!

Tung Lung Chau

Panoramic Island Escape at Tung Lung Chau 🌊🌄 Tung Lung Chau offers a refreshing break from Hong Kong’s city buzz—imagine rugged cliffs, sweeping ocean views, and endless fresh air! Perfect for adventurous souls and photoholics looking for a beautiful view just a short ferry ride away. 🧭 Recommended Route: Catch the ferry from Sam Ka Tsuen Pier (weekends, public holidays) straight to Tung Lung Chau. The island is well-marked with hiking trails—head towards Tung Lung Fort for history fans or trek the loop trail for the best panoramas. My tip: walk the south coast and pause often; the sea views are honestly stunning. 🏞️ Must-do Experiences: • Explore Tung Lung Fort ruins and picture old stone walls with the sea backdrop • Wander up the lookout points for wide-angle shots—morning or late afternoon light makes everything glow • Try a quick climb at the legendary rock-climbing crag (even if you’re not climbing, it’s breathtaking to watch) 📸 Top Photo Spots: • The penciled cliffs overlooking the ocean—ideal for that “tiny person, huge scenery” shot • The winding trails—capture leading lines with green hills and blue sea Personal tip: The best views are midway through the southern trail—stop and look back for unexpected Insta-worthy frames! 🔎 Practical Visiting Tips: • Bring plenty of water and snacks—the island is wild, so shops are almost nonexistent • Good walking shoes are a must; trails are rocky in places • Start early—ferry seats fill up fast and the weather can get quite hot later • Pack out all rubbish to keep the island gorgeous ⚠️ Key Precautions: • Watch your step near cliff edges; it gets windy! • No lifeguards—avoid risky swims or unexpected shortcuts #HongKong #TungLungChau #IslandViews #HikingHongKong #OutdoorEscape
