【Spend just $100 per person to explore Hong Kong's glassy sea! Super detailed guide from Futian】

No need to fly to the Maldives! Hong Kong also has stunning clear waters~ The water at Bridge Mouth Island Crescent Bay is so clear you can see the fish, and the island sandbar and volcanic rock formations have even been featured in National Geographic! Follow this guide to explore Hong Kong’s version of Semporna in one day~ 🚌 Route from Futian Port 1️⃣ After crossing the border, take the MTR East Rail Line to Sha Tin ($25, 25 minutes) 2️⃣ Exit B at Sha Tin Station and transfer to bus 299X to Sai Kung Pier ($10.9, 40 minutes) 3️⃣ At Sai Kung Pier, take the "Mao Ji" boat (Bridge Mouth Bay $30 / Xiamen Bay $40, 15 minutes) ⚠️ Last boat is around 18:30, be sure to check the schedule carefully! 💰 Expense list (per person) ✅ Transportation: under $100 round trip ✅ Gear: tent rental $150/day, snorkeling set $80 (bringing your own is even cheaper!) ✅ Food: bringing your own picnic is cheapest, island convenience stores are outrageously expensive~ ✅ Others: shower $20/time, campsite free! Total: starting from $200, flexible to your budget~ 🌊 Must-try highlights ✔️ Snorkeling paradise: top-quality water, fish and coral within arm’s reach! ✔️ Connected island sandbar: "sea road" appears at low tide, perfect for photos like a fairyland~ ✔️ Volcanic rock photo spot: the "Pineapple Bun Rock" is super cute, hiking trail is easy! ✔️ Starry camping: legal campsite on the north beach, perfect for sunrise views~ ⚠️ Pitfall avoidance tips 1️⃣ Wear non-slip shoes! Wet rocks are slippery and easy to fall on 2️⃣ Bring plenty of sunscreen + mosquito repellent, no shade on the island 3️⃣ Take 100% of your trash with you! You’ll be fined heavily for polluting the environment 4️⃣ Check the tide table carefully! The sandbar only appears around the new and full moon~ This time I wore the Merino wool quick-dry shirt from Mountain Snow Trail—super comfortable! It’s breathable with built-in sun protection, so no worries about sunburn while swimming or hiking under the blazing sun~ Quickly gather your friends and head to Sai Kung to enjoy the glassy sea!
