If you want to go and see another part of Hong Kong than the busy town and high rise buildings consider a day trip to Sharp Island and Sai Kung volcanic Island that is connected by a causeway which is accessible by foot most of the day but does get covered during high water. It will show you a very different part of Hong Kong, green, pleasant and relaxing. To get there take one of the many boats offering trips from Sai Kung Pier, should cost less than 50 HKD each for the return trip. Sai Kung is located north east of Kwoloon a 40 minute taxi ride but also via a very pleasant bus trip along the coast which takes just over an hour. Once you arrive the causeway is near the harbour and you can walk to the volcano and enjoy the sea for a swim. Once back in Sai Kung it is time to relax in one of the many restaurants in this pleasant village before returning to the hussle and bussle of Kwoloon and the city.

Sai Kung peninsula is famous for its clear beaches and hiking trails. One of the easily accessible beaches is Sharp Island, which can be reached by a 10-15 minutes sampan boat ride from Sai Kung Pier. You can purchase the ticket from the numerous boat operators on Sai Kung Pier. I paid for a HK$ 40 return ticket. Lies on the bay, Sharp Island beach is calm, with no big waves. I came here for a picnic with friends. We spent almost all day here, playing on the white sand and taking photos. I could not resist bathing in its clear water while watching some people go kayaking. #island #beach

Sharp Island is located in the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark. It is perfect for visitors to enjoy natural wonders, a fairly short hike and a dip in the sea in one go.

Sharp Island is a small island located off the coast of Sai Kung in Hong Kong. The island is also known as Kiu Tsui Chau in Cantonese, which translates to "Bridge-shaped Island" due to its unique shape that resembles a bridge. Sharp Island is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, as it offers a range of activities and attractions that showcase Hong Kong's natural beauty and cultural heritage. One of the main attractions on Sharp Island is its beautiful beaches. The island is home to two stunning beaches - Hap Mun Bay and Kiu Tsui Beach - both of which offer crystal-clear waters and soft sand. Visitors can enjoy swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling in the warm waters, and explore the surrounding rock formations and tidal pools. Another popular activity on Sharp Island is hiking. The island features a well-marked hiking trail that takes visitors on a scenic journey through the island's rugged terrain and lush vegetation.

2023 first trip, Hong Kong tour! ●Qiaozui Island View the Sai Kung Sea from the Sai Kung Pier. It is a scattered archipelago of islands. Nature and time are for every island. Each has nurtured its own unique culture, history, and stories. The Sai Kung Sea Art Festival uses art creation as a medium to create a "Sai Kung Sea Art Festival", where islands, seas, and art meet. What kind of sparks will collide? This time, due to time constraints, we only went to Qiaozu Island. On Qiaozu Island, you will see three art works: Sunshine on the Moon Shadow: [Moonrise in Daylight] This is the artwork we have been most looking forward to on this trip because the photos we saw online were all too beautiful. The work is made of bamboo and rattan, consisting of 12 moons in different shapes, symbolizing the ebb and flow of the tide from new moon to full moon. And the laws of nature and intangible time. Just like the impermanence of life. Everything depends on the right timing, location, people and circumstances. Just like the arrival of the full moon realm! Ocean says [Ocean Says] Large conch-shaped metal sculptures created in geometric language collect and amplify the sound of the sea in the form of conch. Besides giving people the opportunity to appreciate the ocean in detail. More eager to ponder on how insignificant our role is in nature. The ocean belongs to countless lives and humans should strive to protect it! Big Pineapple Game Pineapple bun is one of the representative foods in Hong Kong, and the Pineapple Bun Rock is also a landmark geological feature in the Kowloon Peninsula, spanning 140 million years of history. Inspired by the story of Hong Kong and pineapple buns, as well as the Pineapple Bun Rock, a series of adorable ceramic figurines are scattered along the Bridge Tsui Country Trail, making it feel like a treasure hunt with the hope of encountering the next surprise around every corner. We spent most of our time on the Bridgehead Island suburban hiking trail, and the scenery along the way was breathtaking! Walking and stopping along the way will take about 2 hours. How to purchase a boat ticket: If you are going to Yantianzi and Qiaozhuzhou, you can buy island hopping ferry tickets on the official website of the Sai Kung Sea Art Festival. If you only want to go to one of the islands, you can buy tickets directly at the Sai Kung New Public Pier! If you want to see the art piece "Moonlight Under the Sun" recently, you need to arrive at Qiaozhuzhou in the morning. Otherwise, you won't have a chance to see it when the tide rises. You can also check the time of the tide in advance. Therefore, I would suggest going to Qiaozhuzhou first before going to Yantianzi. And if you want to visit both islands, you can't spend too much time on the suburban path of Qiaozhuzhou!

Get on the boat from Sai Kung City Center Pier and it only takes 5 minutes to reach Kiu Tsui Island! The island is not big, but if you are lucky, you can encounter the "island sandbar" that appears when the tide recedes!
