🏝️ Hong Kong Mui Wo Day Trip: Silvermine Bay Waterfall, Silvermine Cave, and Wah Kee Seafood: A Natural and Tasty Adventure! 🌊✨

I embarked on a day trip to Mui Wo, Hong Kong, arriving at this tranquil fishing village via a regular ferry from the Central Pier (approximately 50 minutes)! 🌅 Mui Wo boasts not only the gentle white waves of Silver Mine Bay Beach but also hidden natural wonders and authentic seafood. From the refreshing coolness of Silver Mine Bay Waterfall to the historic ruins of Silver Mine Cave, and finally savoring the fresh seafood at Wah Kee Seafood Restaurant, this day was filled with surprises and relaxation. 💙 Come join me as I explore the hidden charms of Lantau Island and experience the healing sea breeze and nature! 📸 📍 Location: Mui Wo 📍 Address: Mui Wo, East Lantau Island, Hong Kong Outlying Islands 🚗 Transportation: Take the New Lantau Ferry from the Central Pier (regular ferry $27.40, approximately 50 minutes; high-speed ferry $42, approximately 35 minutes).

Departing from Mui Wo Pier, start your day at Mui Wo Laundry Company. This self-service laundromat, which opened in 2022, features a retro green theme of vintage washing machines, with neatly arranged machines on the wall creating a nostalgic feel! 🏭 There's also a coffee vending machine and wooden tables, perfect for a photo break. The simple atmosphere here is a relaxing start to the trip. 📷 Photo Tip: Take a close-up of the green washing machine, blending it into the background with the coffee machine for a vintage feel. 2. Silver Mine Bay Waterfall and Silver Mine Cave: Nature's hidden wonders. Rent a bicycle from the laundry company ($20/hour) and ride for about 20 minutes to Silver Mine Bay, passing through a quiet fishing village. The clear waters of Silver Mine Bay Waterfall cascade like a silver ribbon, encircling the mountains. The air is refreshing and soothing! 🏞️ Continue walking for another 5 minutes to Silver Mine Cave, a relic of a 19th-century lead and silver mine. The cave entrance is sealed by mud, so photography is limited to outside, but the contrast between the cliffs and the seascape is stunning. 📷 Photo Tip: Use backlighting to capture the misty effect of the waterfall, and the Silver Mine Cave entrance, combined with the cliffs and seascape, creates a sense of mystery. 3. Hua Kee Seafood Restaurant: A Tasteful Orgasm of Fresh Seafood. Lunch at Hua Kee Seafood Restaurant, a long-established establishment renowned for its fresh seafood. I ordered the salt and pepper squid, served with their special soy sauce, for a rich and complex flavor! Enjoying a sea view seat, I ate while watching the waves at Silver Mine Bay, a perfect end to my day trip. 📷 Photo Tip: For close-ups of the seafood, blend the sea view windows into the background to highlight the vibrant colors and the waves. 🏖️ Nearby Itineraries • Silver Mine Bay Beach: A 5-minute walk, 🏖️ for an afternoon swim or a sunset stroll. • Discovery Bay: Return ferry, 🌃 transfer to Central for a nighttime Victoria Harbour cruise. 💡 Travel Tips 🌟 1.
