[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Half Moon Bay, Hong Kong (Updated Apr)

When you come to Hong Kong, you must go to the beach to have fun! This time I want to introduce the Jelly Sea in Sai Kung, Hong Kong! It’s so beautiful that it makes people cry! (Detailed route included) Transportation: First of all, if you want to go to Sai Kung, you can go to Sai Kung Public Pier first. There are many ways to get to the pier. Generally, you can take the MTR to Exit C2 of Choi Hung Station and then transfer to minibus No. 1A. The fare is about 10 yuan, and you can pay with Octopus or cash. You can get off directly at the terminal. However, it should be noted that during public holidays, you may find that there are no seats left when waiting for the minibus as all minibuses are full. At this time, we can choose to go across the road to take the bus, such as bus No. 92, which is also very convenient! If you are not sure how to take the bus, you can ask the information desk at the mall and they will give you directions. It is recommended to take the bus to the pier, which is also a very good experience and cheaper than the minibus. You will also get off at the terminal. After arriving at Sai Kung Pier, find the ticket office and buy a boat ticket to Half Moon Bay (Xiamen Bay). The ticket price is about HK$40, including round trip. When buying tickets, remember to ask about the return time and keep the ticket stub as you will need it for the return trip. Tips for Half Moon Bay: It takes about 20 minutes by boat to reach Half Moon Bay. The scenery along the way is also very nice. Once you arrive, you can reach the beach through a long path. You will see that the sea water here is really beautiful, it is a fluorescent green color and very clear. The light is most beautiful between 2 and 3 pm, so remember to take sun protection measures. Walking along the beach, there is a small shop where you can rent parasols, swimming rings, and lockers are also provided. There are also drinks and snacks there, but the prices are relatively high. We rented a parasol which was available until 5:30pm and the total cost was about HKD120 which included HKD100 rental which was refunded when the parasol was returned. When installing the parasol, you can ask the staff wearing pink swimming trunks to assist you. Choose a sunny day, wear sun protection, bring food and drinks, and you can spend the whole day there. Half Moon Bay also provides bathing facilities, but the water flow is relatively small.

A paradise with clear water and fine sand You need to take a ferry to get there from Sai Kung Pier, which costs $40 for a round trip. Before departure, you should check the Transport Department website to see which ferries are legal. The voyage took about 15 minutes to arrive. As soon as we got off the ferry, we saw that the water was very clear and we were excited. There are lifeguards on duty on the beach, as well as small changing rooms and showers, but there are no shops or retail facilities. It is recommended that you buy all the necessary supplies in Sai Kung first. The water here is clear, the sand is fine, and the sea water is light green. You can clearly see the bottom of the water and the fish swimming. This completely unpolluted place is absolutely rare in Hong Kong.

The hiking route I will introduce today is a very simple route suitable for men, women and children. Not only can you enjoy the unbeatable sea views on both sides of the mountain road, but you can also visit two of the most famous islands closest to Sai Kung at once - Sharp Island and hike to Half Moon Bay (also called Xiamen Bay). 🌟🌟🌟 First, take the street ferry to Sai Kung Public Pier to reach Sharp Island. After getting off the boat, walk along the stone path next to the beach to the end, then turn left to the mountain path stairs (there is a small artwork next to the stairs, a volcano that sprays pineapple buns) 😂. Start hiking from here, and you can see some very thoughtful works of art along the way, which are very delicate and cute. (Everyone remember to take care of them! They are the hard work of others. 😄) The sea is with you all the way, including Kau Sai Chau Golf Course, Liandao Sand Bar, Yantianzi, and the terminal, Half Moon Bay with clear water and fine sand. When you arrive at Half Moon Bay, you can sit on the white beach, enjoy the sunshine and the beach, take a good rest and fully charge your battery before returning! 🌟🌟🌟 🚢⛵️Transportation: From various districts to Sai Kung Public Pier - Take the Street Ferry - Sharp Island or Half Moon Bay Sharp Island round trip ticket: HKD $30 Half Moon Bay round trip ticket: HKD $40 🌟🌟Remember to tell the boatman if you walk to Half Moon Bay after landing on Sharp Island, because the ticket price is different. You can choose from different boat operators: Maoji, Feipo, Lanqi, Hongqi, Shengji. (Most boats run every 30 minutes, and some may have to wait for all boats to depart.) The last boat usually leaves at 18:00 or 18:30 (you can take a picture of the last boat time of the day before departure to avoid missing it.) If you miss the boat you chose and don't want to wait for the next one, you can take a boat with a different boat operator, but you need to pay the return fare of the other boat operator. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Everyone has the responsibility to protect the natural environment. Don't litter. Take your own trash away. Don't destroy nature. Don't salvage or take away marine life. Good citizens must do this😇. #weekendplace #qiaotsui island #halfmoonbay #saigonplace

📍Detailed address: Geographical location: Sai Kung Half Moon Bay is located in the Sai Kung District of Hong Kong. It is named after its crescent-shaped bay. It is a treasure land far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. 🚉Transportation strategy: From downtown Hong Kong, take the MTR Kwun Tong Line to Choi Hung Station, walk from Exit C to Minibus Stop 1, and take a minibus directly to Sai Kung Pier. If you are departing from Guangzhou-Shenzhen, you can take the high-speed rail to Futian Station, then cross the border at Futian Port, then take the MTR to Shatin Station, and transfer to KMB bus No. 299 to Sai Kung Pier. The whole journey takes about 1 hour. After arriving at the pier, you can choose from the following two options: [One] Half Moon Bay One-way: Take a speedboat directly to Half Moon Bay (ferry ticket 40 HKD, 20 minutes), and enjoy the jelly sea and pristine beach; [Two] Half Moon Bay – Sharp Island Hiking Tour: Take a boat from Sai Kung Pier to Sharp Island (ferry ticket is about HK$30, 15 minutes), and walk through the "sea erosion channel" connecting the two islands (not accessible during high tide, need to confirm the tide time in advance). The whole journey takes about 1.5 hours, and you can get a close look at the volcanic rock landforms along the way. 👍Most Recommended: Geological wonders features: [Island] Half Moon Bay: The water is as clear as emerald, the beach is as fine as powder, the reef area on the northeast side is rocky, and the rocky beach on the southeast side is clear and calm. It is an excellent place for snorkeling and photography. [Mountain] Sharp Island Volcanic Rocks: The island is covered with breadstone and hexagonal columnar volcanic rocks. These are unique textures formed by erosion of volcanic relics 140 million years ago by sea water. [Purse] Ferry ticket cost: Sai Kung Pier → Half Moon Bay: HKD 40 (one way) Sai Kung Pier → Sharp Island: HK$30 (one way) ⏳Play time: You need to reserve at least 4 hours to visit both islands. The last boat leaves at about 17:30. It is recommended to confirm the schedule with the boatman in advance. ✅Must experience: Step on the "singing sand" in Half Moon Bay - the fine sand makes a gentle sound when rubbing against each other; touch the cool texture of volcanic rocks while hiking on Sharp Island and feel the geological story of billions of years; if you have enough time, you can overlook the panoramic view of Half Moon Bay from the "viewing platform" at the end of Sharp Island, where the blue sea and volcanic rocks form a magnificent picture. 📝Note tips: Some hiking sections require climbing rocks, so it is recommended to wear non-slip shoes; there is only a shop in Half Moon Bay on the island, so you can bring your own drinking water and light meals; pay attention to sun protection in summer and wind protection in autumn and winter. Tidal changes will affect the itinerary, so check the high and low tide times in advance. Sai Kung's Half Moon Bay and Sharp Island, one is a secluded jelly sea wonderland, the other is a natural museum carved by volcanoes and waves. Escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and come to this unexplored secret place, measure the natural epic with your feet, and gain the most primitive and gentle island memories of Hong Kong.

If I had to name an outlying island in Hong Kong that I most want to visit, it would not be Lamma Island or Cheung Chau Island. I would choose Yueban Bay (Xiamen Bay) because it is really interesting. 🌊Location: Yuebanwan Beach Recommendation index:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ‼ ️Although it is a niche and unpopular outlying island, its transportation is actually very convenient. 1⃣️MTR [Chongqing Station] Exit A, transfer to minibus 1/1A 2⃣️MTR [Diamond Hill Station], take minibus 92 3⃣️MTR [Hang Hau Station], take minibus 101 📒You all get off at Sai Kung Pier.

Shopping at Wellcome, Parknshop, 7-11 and other stores is very convenient, and there are also markets. Supplies can be prepared at Saigon Pier. ⛵️Sai Kung Pier—Yue Ban Wan The boat ride takes about 20 minutes and the boat fare is 40💰 round trip The last boat departs at 16:30 on weekdays and 18:30 on weekends. ♻️My itinerary is: Two days and one night, for your reference⬇️ 1⃣️Book a hotel in Sha Tin in advance 2⃣️Check-in to the hotel on the same day (before 12 o'clock) went smoothly. After getting the room card and snorkeling equipment, we took 299X directly downstairs from the hotel to Saigon Pier, where we took a boat to Half Moon Bay. 📒Personal advice: If your trip in Hong Kong exceeds 2 days, it is recommended that you go to Half Moon Bay to play in the water the next day, which will be more perfect😍. 🏖️Half Moon Bay Beach: 1⃣️Can camp (canopy is not allowed on the beach), stay overnight, barbecue, etc. 2⃣️There are free flushing points and toilets, barbecue grills, stone tables and chairs, and complete alms (I have to admire Hong Kong's recreational facilities, they are really well-constructed)! 3⃣️The recommended camping site is the reef beach behind the beach 🏖️. The water is clear, with various reefs underneath, overflowing with various marine products such as snails and oxeye snails, and various fish schools. It is so surprising. 4⃣️Kio Tsui Country Trail: A paradise for outdoor hiking. Walking on the ridgeline, you can overlook the entire Sai Kung sea area. It is 1.7 kilometers long. If you have enough time, you can also walk this country trail. It is very interesting. 5⃣️The canteen on the island is only open on weekends and not on weekdays. It is recommended that you prepare enough drinking water and dry food at Saigon Pier.

Day trip from Sai Kung to Half Moon Bay and Xiamen! A round trip by boat from Sai Kung Pier is $40 a day, the environment here is very good, I did not expect some beaches in Hong Kong can still have forbidden clear sea water, the most comfortable is the beach is not too many people! Sunshine and beach are very good enjoyment, if you have the opportunity, you can come and see!

Half Moon Bay in Pak Tam Chung, Sai Kung is a very easy and scenic hiking route. Take a minibus from Sai Kung city center towards Pak Tam Chung and get off at Pak Tam Chung. You can try water bikes in the morning if you have extra time. After getting off the car, you can walk along the trail for about an hour to reach the Half Moon Bay Dam. However, due to disrepair, the dam has three gaps and it is not easy to cross to the other side. You must be careful and do what you can. The scenery along the way is clear water and blue sky, and you can appreciate the mangrove ecology. The road is flat throughout, making it an approachable route. #Hong Kong Good Places #Local Travel #Family Good Places
