[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Long Ke Wan (Updated Feb)

While many people in Hong Kong are familiar with famous attractions like Victoria Harbour and Stanley, they often overlook other lesser-known scenic spots. Located in the East Dam, Long Ke Wan of the High Island Reservoir is one of Hong Kong's largest freshwater reservoirs and a stunning natural beauty. Visitors can stroll along the lakeside trail, enjoying the changing scenery of the lake and mountains. It's definitely worth a visit. The highlight here is the fine and soft sand, the clear blue water, and the peaceful coexistence of people and cattle. Compared to the busy and fast-paced city center, this place will make you feel like time has slowed down. Before you set off, remember to bring sunscreen and food, as there are no shops on the island. Once you step onto the island, you'll immediately feel a sense of isolation from the world. If you have a larger group or more supplies, you can take a speedboat directly from Sai Kung Pier to Long Ke Wan. The one-way fare is around HKD 150, and you can negotiate a round-trip price with the boat operator. Alternatively, hiking enthusiasts can take bus 96R from Sai Kung to Pak Tam Chung, walk for about two hours to the East Dam, and then walk another kilometer to reach Long Ke Wan. Take advantage of the holidays and invite a few friends to enjoy some leisurely time together.

A few years ago, when I went hiking on the Milford Track for the first time, I felt a sudden clarity when I arrived at Lake Mackenzie. The world became brighter. The deserted white sand beach was so beautiful! Since then, I have always been thinking about Lake Mackenzie. *The sand of Langya Bay Beach is white, clean and delicate, and the quality of the sea water is also very good, with a mint green color like glass. There are few people and camping is also available. Unfortunately, we arrived too late this time and there wasn't much sunlight left. The driftwood on the Langya Bay beach and the small lake formed by the sea water are really beautiful in the sunlight! · 📌How to get to Langkawi Bay: 1️⃣Take a boat from Sai Kung Pier to Long Ke Wan. 2️⃣Take a taxi from Sai Kung Pier to the east dam of Man Yee Reservoir, the taxi fare is about 130 HKD, then walk to Long Ke Wan, the walking distance is about 1.5 kilometers, which takes about half an hour. 3️⃣Take bus 94 from Sai Kung Pier and get off at Pak Tam Chung. Then transfer to minibus 9A (only available on weekends and public holidays) and get off at the east dam of Man Yee Reservoir. Finally, walk 1.5 kilometers to Long Ke Wan. · ✅Lazy person's hiking route: Compared to taking a boat, I recommend walking a bit more. You can also visit the east dam of Wanyi Reservoir, where the scenery is particularly beautiful and breathtaking. ➡️To get to Sai Kung Pier from various parts of Hong Kong, I usually take the No. 1 special line minibus from Rainbow Station C2 exit to the terminal Sai Kung Pier. ➡️Take a taxi or take bus 94 to transfer to bus 9A to Wan Yi Reservoir East Dam (bus 9A only operates on weekends and public holidays) ➡️Walk along the east dam of Wanyi Reservoir for a while, and you can have a distant view of Pobianzhou. ➡️Walk to Dongba Xia and see the huge ship anchor stone. ⬅️From the mountain road next to Dongba, go down to Langjia Bay, there are clear signs to guide the way. ➡️Return from Long Ke Wan to the east dam of Man Yee Reservoir, take a taxi or minibus back to Sai Kung Pier. · 📷Recommended photo spots for check-ins: 1️⃣On the way from the east dam of Wanyi Reservoir to Langjia Bay, take a high shot of the beach. 2️⃣Broken wood on Langqie Bay Beach 3️⃣Mint-colored transparent seawater 4️⃣The blue sea of Dongba Dam in Wanyi Reservoir 5️⃣Gaze at the distant broken peninsula. 6️⃣Hexagonal columnar stones formed 600 million years ago. · 💙Check-in tips: *It's very sunny, protect yourself from the sun.

Langqie Bay is really the most beautiful seaside I have ever seen in China. I even thought it was more beautiful than the second section of the Malihose Trail I had been hiking in Bali, so I had the opportunity to come here. - Hong Kong's richest people usually come here to vacation on their private yachts. There seems to be no other way to get in except walking and taking a private yacht. So the sea is protected and is very blue, green and clean. Long Ke Wan, Hong Kong

MacLehose Trail - Long Ke Wan A must-visit for families. Rather than waiting to find the right person to travel with, it's better to encounter someone unexpectedly during the journey... Long Ke Wan
