Green Egg Island is a small island near Sai Kung, Hong Kong. It is named after its poached egg with a green yolk. I originally thought it would be really exhausting to do outdoor sports in this weather, but it turned out to be okay with sun-protective clothing and the wind on the sea. It’s super beautiful and I recommend you to visit! ✨Just looking at the water surface illuminated by the sunlight, it looks like a sea of ​​glass, absolutely amazing! This time we paddled there in a two-person canoe, but in fact there should be a speedboat that can go there. 🚖Transportation: Take a taxi from Hang Hau MTR Station B2 to Sheung Sze Wan, which takes about 15 minutes and costs about HK$40-50 to reach the boat rental company. 🚤Boat rental: It is recommended to go with a partner if you are rowing a double boat for the first time! A double boat costs HK$250 on weekdays and HK$300 on holidays. It is best to make an appointment with Chuanjia in advance! (Life jackets, showers and changing rooms are available) It is recommended to arrive before 10-11 am, so that you have more time. You can snorkel and visit the island after you arrive. It is recommended to leave at 15:30 at the latest for the return trip and return as early as possible at dawn. ⚠️Note: 1️⃣ Bring sun protection clothing, sun hat, sunscreen, amphibious shoes (very scratchy), swimming goggles, waterproof bag, sunglasses, water, garbage bag, lunch (bring your own lunch) 2️⃣ Pay attention to the weather, because thunderstorms/too windy will prevent you from going out to sea, so it’s best to choose a sunny day! 🔅 #GlobalTravel #trip #Saigon #HongKongGoodPlaces

The water is not too deep in the middle of the two shores, so it is good for snorkeling to see fish, coral reefs🪸, sea cucumbers and other underwater creatures. Almost walked across the street when the tide went out. Since there are no shops and toilets on the island, you need to bring enough water and food to replenish your food.

The legendary egg-shaped island, we set out from Sai Kung and kayaked to Green Egg Island. The round trip took about 2 hours (double kayak). The wind and waves were quite strong yesterday, but the sea was basically calm and easy to paddle. There are many options for renting canoes, so choose carefully (laughs). The water around Green Egg Island is very clear. Many tourists are snorkeling. Many tourists are also playing sup and some water activities. It is worth experiencing. - #Hong Kong Good Places #Local Travel #Family Good Places #HongkongStudyDiary #Hongkong #GreenEggIsland #GreenEggIslandCanoe #XiangsiWan #hongkong #kayak

Kayak has become very popular in Hong Kong in recent years. A kayak is a narrow-bodied water vehicle similar to a canoe, available in both single-person and multi-person varieties. Many people go kayaking in Sai Kung, popular spots include Green Egg Island, Shelter Island, and Wing Tsui. This time we went to the Green Egg Kayak near Tseung Kwan O. The surrounding geology was beautiful and the route was easy to complete. #Good Places for Families #Good Places for Hong Kong

Since I can’t travel abroad due to the epidemic, I had to look for fun places in Hong Kong. This is my second time to play canoeing. I didn’t expect that I have the courage to challenge a single-person canoe❣️ (I don’t know how to swim) Going to Green Egg Island in a canoe 🚣 is a great experience. It not only exercises my arms, shoulders, back and chest muscles (I’ve been exercising more recently so this has become my hobby), but I can also spend half a day with my friends 👭 and check in, which allows me to relax. The most important thing is that the water in Green Egg Island is very clear, which is perfect for snorkeling. But…I’m busy bringing my snorkeling gear, so…I’ll just keep rowing hard! A friend of mine rented a SUP, which is something I’ve always wanted to try, so I borrowed it and paddled a few times! Although the principle of SUP is similar to canoeing, it is not easy either. First, you need to stand on the thin board in a balanced way, and then change hands frequently to paddle. I think this is very strenuous. It might be better to kneel down. However, if you have to paddle for several hours, beginners may also feel very tired. Some friends may be afraid of getting tanned when participating in water activities. In fact, as long as they take adequate sun protection measures, they will not get too dark. I put on sunscreen, a hat 🧢, and long-sleeved sun-protective clothing, and I almost didn't get tanned. Only my feet got tanned (there was no coverage between my pants and shoes) So I highly recommend this activity to everyone, and I also recommend everyone to explore Green Egg Island! #HongKongGoodPlaces #LocalTour #ResidentWriter #Parent-ChildGoodPlaces #SuburbanGoodPlaces #Canoe #Sai Kung #GreenEggIsland #StandUpPaddleboard #Check-in #WaterSports #kayak #sup #watersport

The process requires a certain amount of physical strength. There will be many tourists going together on the way, so don’t be afraid of getting lost, but pay attention to the weather.

When dawn illuminates Clear Water Bay, Green Egg Island emerges like a jade poached egg nestled in the shimmering waves, waiting for travelers to unlock its glassy water secrets. Starting from Xiangsi Bay, paddlers embark on a 45-minute canoe journey across a liquid crystal sea. With 12-meter visibility, the underwater world reveals swaying antler corals, schools of tiger-striped fish glinting like scattered gold, and the occasional graceful glide of a stingray beneath the canoe, creating a magical dance with ocean spirits. Encircled by hexagonal rock columns, this uninhabited island offers a dreamlike stage even for beginners. The double canoe glides steadily through the waves, fingertips brushing the cool sea water. Around the corner, the ancient geological tales of Lobster Bay's stone carvings unfold, while the verdant mountain reflections of Three Cups Island mirror on the water, as if paddling into a traditional Chinese landscape painting. Upon landing, travelers can shed their paddles and dive into tide-sculpted natural pools. Beneath the snorkeling mask, a mesmerizing world awaits: purple sea urchins tucked into rock crevices, clownfish darting through coral labyrinths, and, with a bit of luck, a swim alongside translucent jellyfish shimmering like stardust. As the midday sun gilds the sea with silver fragments, the return journey invites a leisurely drift, letting the sea breeze lift the brim of your sun hat. This emerald adventure along Hong Kong's eastern coast not only conquers the waves but also captures the purest whispers of island life in every paddle stroke.

Green Egg Island, formerly known as Rotten Row. Green Egg Island has been called Green Egg Island in recent years because its shape resembles a fried egg when viewed from high altitude, with the "yolk" in the center being green (because the center is covered with green plants). There is a small beach on Green Egg Island with clear water, fine sand and shallow water, which is suitable for playing in the water and snorkeling.
