Hong Kong’s popular check-in spots are overcrowded? Don’t worry! We’ve summarized the top ten outlying island guides in Hong Kong, featuring familiar movie filming locations like Cheung Chau, Sai Kung, Tai O, Stanley, and Lamma Island, as well as lesser-known islands like Tap Mun, Shek O, Green Egg Island, Peng Chau, and Mui Wo, to let you experience the true slow life of Hong Kong. Top 10 Outlying Islands in Hong Kong 🚢 Lamma Island: Famous as actor Chow Yun-fat’s hometown, you can hike and enjoy sea views📸, eat seafood loved by celebrities, and stay at super chill resorts. 🌅 Cheung Chau: Filming location of the movie "McDull Story." Take the ferry back at dusk to watch the sunset—this feeling is truly healing⛱. 🚤 Tai O Fishing Village: Known as the "Venice of Hong Kong," the DIY workshops are super fun, and you can also visit Disneyland nearby🎡. 🌊 Sai Kung: Known as "Hong Kong’s Backyard Garden"🌊, there are fresh seafood shops by the pier, tourists can take boats out to sea, and there are plenty of activities like snorkeling and kayaking for outdoor lovers to choose from. 🏝 Green Egg Island: Departing from A Ma Wan, snorkel in the glassy sea to see fish. Beginners are advised to join professional kayaking tours with coaches for full guidance and safety🚣‍♀. ⛪ Stanley: Colorful houses and exotic restaurants are great for strolling. The signature dish, Min Yee’s divine beef brisket noodles🍜, receives rave reviews from many tourists. Stanley Beach is less crowded with clear water, perfect for zoning out and watching the sunset. 🏖 Shek O: A popular movie filming location🎞! The colorful houses and Japanese-style beach make every photo a masterpiece. Enjoy stunning sea views while hiking the Dragon’s Back⛰, spend the day playing in the water and taking photos—you won’t want to leave. ⛺ Tap Mun: Known online as Hong Kong’s "Little Switzerland"!
