A Must-Visit Spot for Sunny Seaside Views

Tung Lung Chau (also known as Tung Lung Island) is one of the southernmost outlying islands in the Sai Kung District of Hong Kong. It combines rich historical relics with magnificent natural scenery, making it perfect for a day hike or camping experience. · 🌊 Main Attractions and Activities: Tung Lung Chau features prehistoric rock carvings from Hong Kong’s ancient times and the Qing Dynasty Tung Lung Chau Fort built to defend against pirates. The fort area on the island is also one of the designated camping sites by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. Additionally, it is a popular rock climbing spot, with the cliffs on the northeast shore attracting many climbing enthusiasts. You can also challenge the 232-meter-high Nam Tong Peak (the island’s highest point) for stunning sea views; explore the Navel Hole and the Dragon Spitting Pearl Spray Rock formed by wave erosion; or take photos at landmarks like the Fat Tong Mun Lighthouse. · 🚢 Transportation: To get to Tung Lung Chau, take a ferry on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays from Sam Ka Tsuen Pier in Kowloon or Sai Wan Ho (Shau Kei Wan Typhoon Shelter) Pier on Hong Kong Island. Please check and plan your return ferry schedule in advance. · 📝 Practical Tips: There are only a few convenience stores open on weekends and holidays, so it is recommended to bring enough drinking water and snacks. Please pay attention to safety during outdoor activities. In summary, Tung Lung Chau offers a great escape from the urban hustle, with its profound historical heritage, unique coastal erosion landforms, and abundant outdoor activities, allowing you to experience the beauty of nature and history.

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
