#timetotravel Shek-o was recommended to us by a a few photographers friends so from our hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui we rented an entire van with our pre nup crew to take us to this stunning little village in Honkong. Instead on going to Shek-O beach we came to this rocky part and our photographer really enjoyed taking some snaps here. The calm water and the rock formations just make the entire vibe of this place very atmospheric. If you are looking for a place to take wedding photos in Hongkong then this place is highly recommended. Just look at our photos, I mean the seaview is just stunning isn't it? Travel time is about 45 minutes from Tsim Sha Tsui. Enjoy your shot wether you are a photographer or a couple. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #hongkong #photography

I haven't been to Shek O Beach for many years, and a friend suggested that I take the children there. Of course children have more fun when they have companionship. The transportation is a bit far, you need to take the MTR to Shau Kei Wan first, and then transfer to the bus to the terminal. The beach is really large, and there are several restaurants and convenience stores nearby, which is very convenient. The children had a lot of fun. It is a great place for parents and children to go on a weekend. It is better to take them out to experience nature than to stay at home playing games! #Beach #Good place for families

There are several restaurants along the road away from the beach, mostly snack-based, one of which focuses on Thai cuisine, and even the waiters are Thai. We ordered pineapple fried rice, garlic chicken also, Malayan tongs and 6 skewers. The value is not expensive. After changing things and adding two drinks, the bill is only $400 or so. The taste is very suitable for Hong Kong people's taste. 📍Shek O Park #Summer Food Recommendation #Mother's Day Good Places #Parents and Parents Good Places #Summer Good Places

Shek O For most people, Hong Kong has always been a bustling urban center, but in fact, amidst the fast-paced city life, there is also a paradise untouched by worldly disturbances. Shek O Village - Shek O is a small peninsula located at the southeast corner of Hong Kong Island, facing the vast Pacific Ocean. It is a quiet coastal village with beautiful and peaceful scenery. Shek O, this name is not unfamiliar to Hong Kong people, and even more so to fans of Stephen Chow, because his famous movie "King of Comedy" was filmed in Shek O. Shek O has colorful houses resembling those in Venice, as well as beaches with blue skies and turquoise waters like those in the Maldives. Walking slowly here or sitting quietly all day won't make you feel bored. Part of the residents in Shek O village have lived here for generations, while the other part consists of foreigners who have moved here in recent years, attracted by the tranquil atmosphere that is completely different from the bustling city of Hong Kong. The quiet and slow pace of life in Shek O village can definitely make you feel like you've traveled back to the 80s or 90s, wandering aimlessly in the village and feeling like you've entered a different world.

Shek O Beach is a beach located facing Island Bay in Shek O, Southern District, Hong Kong. How To Get To Shek O Beach Hop on to the Island Line to Shau Kei Wan MTR Station. At Shau Kei Wan, take exit A3 to the bus terminal, and catch Bus No. 9 to Shek O. ... Or take the Red Minibus from near exit A2 which costs a few dollars more, but is much faster. You can also take a taxi from Shau Kei Wan MTR.

In the new year spirit, I did a hike and walk with friends through the dragon’s back trail and stop at Big Wave. It was an adventurous experiences to see breathtaking views and beautiful gems of Hong Kong along the way. The weather was drop to 9 Celsius degree in the morning when we started hike. However the sun shined brightly over the day made us warm walking down from the Shek O Peak to Big Wave. If you wanted to do the same adventure, take bus number 9 from Shau Kei Wan bus terminus (opposite exit A2 of the MTR Shau Kei Wan station), get off at Dragon’s back and follow the trail. #newyearadventure #hiking #outdoor #beach
