Wearing a white dress for photos will definitely make your film pop! 🚣♂️ Chi Chau activity suggestions: ▫️ Island hiking: Walk along the coastal trail for 3 hours, low difficulty but excellent scenery. Remember to bring plenty of water! ▫️ Snorkeling to explore coral: As one of Hong Kong’s six major coral areas, the water is crystal clear, with clownfish and soft corals everywhere~ ▫️ Paddleboarding tour: Rent a stand-up paddleboard and paddle from Red Rock Gate into the inner bay, feeling the shock of being surrounded by the "red canyon"~ ⚠️ Survival essentials checklist: ✅ Full sun protection gear: Long-sleeve quick-dry clothes + high SPF sunscreen + headscarf.
