A Pupular Pre-Nup Photos Location 🇭🇰
#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.

Fast-paced Hong Kong also has a paradise untouched by the secular world.
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.

New year adventure: all the way from Dragon’s Back, Shek O Peak to Big Wave Bay and Beach
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.

Shek O is a popular area in southeast Hong Kong, with its blue sky and sea, white beach and unique hamlets. It was also the shooting location of The King of Comedy. It is not so hot here the morning, so you can walk left towards the island and take some photographs against the colored cottages. Here is my outfit recommendation: Single-colored skirt + sandals + straw hat + sunglasses. You can also get some quick meals around Shek O.
Phillis.
Every place has its own unique memory. Most people who come to Shek O may be for the "King of Comedy", and this time, I am more looking for a scene called "The Broad Sky" to commemorate Huang Jiaxuan. ! I didn't expect a most classic MV, I created it here, but I didn't expect that one of the most classic songs became a swan song!
Going to the end, except for the coastline, it seems to be a broken road, the fence is closed, and asked the uncle next to it, the Cantonese version of Mandarin, the general meaning is to let us turn over! At first doubt, but in order not to regret, in the case of trying the other two directions to determine that there is no other way, simply do it, turn over, and sure enough, there are still many people, picking up seafood, making wedding dresses, photography .
Later, I learned from a student who was playing photography. It was also because of the "mangosteen" that destroyed the legendary blue lover bridge. (Tucao is a place that has not been repaired for a year)
After taking a video, sitting on the reef where the family sat, watching the blue sky and blue sky in the distance, listening to the sound of the waves hitting the rocks, in my mind It's all look in the MV! The reef in the MV has hardly changed. The top of the head is the pavilion that opened, and the eagle that occasionally hovered in the air restored the scene! "The sky is wide and the sky can change." Every picture has a deep memory. "Forgive me for indulging my love for freedom in my life." It is more artistic to return to the shooting than to watch the MV!
After 26 years, Shi Ao is still so beautiful, can't help but sigh, the years have changed, things are not!
Clean up your mood, live up to this beauty, love life and everything around you, is the best interpretation of the lyrics. After all, living is wonderful! In the case of good weather, any place in Shi'ao is a scene that is easy to produce! What do you think?
In this way, we took pictures, blown the sea breeze, and the Hong Kong classmates next to it blew the cows and passed the hottest afternoon.

I missed the health center and can no longer miss this colorful alley. There are basically no trees in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong. It is impossible to eat under the scorching sun. We simply walk along the path and pass under the eaves of the villagers, but we have harvested this unexpected color! Everyone here has painted different colors for their houses, or purple or orange, or green or pink, colorful and very eye-catching. If you put it together, its a rainbow! And you look closely, each mailbox is a variety of shapes, full of cute little fresh! And people in this period of time are working on the beach, and it makes it extremely quiet, no one is disturbing, find the background, and pat the random concave shape! Super petty super beautiful!
If you want to ask me how to go, then two words: free! Because the village is not big, no matter how you go, you can finally walk to Shiao Village Road, stand on the uphill road, or find a car parked on the side of the road, you can take a Hong Kong-style street scene! The road here is not wide, and the ground is reminded by the slow drive that can be seen everywhere. Slow down and enjoy the scenery along the way. Sometimes, it is also a realm! The atmosphere of art, the quiet little fishing village, the photos taken every place here are so small and fresh! It's no wonder that compared with the bustling city, the slow-paced life is more like a paradise!

Hong Kong is not to be missed. Shek O
beautiful scenery of Shek O is a fishing village in the southeast of Hong Kong. In recent years, it has become another must-see for Hong Kong. I divided Shi'ao into three places: Shi'ao Residential Area, Shek O Luxury Quarter and Shek O Beach. The Shi'ao residential area is the most popular place for tourists. The houses and streets are colorful and clean, and the taste of Hong Kong is full. It is a must-see for young artists. The Shi Ao Mansion is a separate building with heavily guarded, high-walled iron gates, but you can take a look at their luxury cars. Shek O Beach is my favorite place in Shek O. It can be used to embrace fine sand, sea and blue sky. If you can, I really want to stay here for a whole day.
Transportation: MTR Tsuen Wan Station A3 Exit Bus Terminus Take Bus No. 9 to Shek O Terminus (HK6.9)

The net red card is located in Shek O, Hong Kong. It is located in the eastern part of Hong Kong's southern district. It is also called Shikong. The area of Shi'ao is very large, the scenery is beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, the environment feels healthy, and the sand of the beach is delicate. There is also a Longji Mountain Road. There is no bustling city, but there is a quiet village. There are no high-rise buildings, and village villas can be seen everywhere. The water at Shek O Beach is very clean and there are many people swimming, as well as surfing and diving. Very popular. The transportation is convenient to the subway, the bus can reach the Central Exchange Square Bus Terminal and take the 309 bus to go directly to Shi'ao.
As a dry duck that can't swim, this time is to wear a swimsuit and have a look!
The beach sees a lot of good-looking young ladies! Nothing is wrong~

Hong Kong handsome guys gathering place
alternative Raiders! Hong Kong is the most prosperous place in the world, and Shek O Village is the most beautiful place I think of Hong Kong. Not only is the natural scenery beautiful, but there are also a lot of small fresh meat to bathe in the sun.
took the initiative to pick up a little brother who is lying on the beach. This little brother is a male model in Hong Kong. He usually likes to go to the bath with friends and colleagues. They are more open, and they are basically "out of view". The abdominal muscles are unobstructed and really handsome! If you like your little brother, you must go to Shi'ao Village. ~
Traffic Raiders: Take the Hong Kong Island Line and get off at Tsuen Wan Station (A3 exit). You can see 9 roads after you reach the ground. Bus, take the No. 9 bus to the terminal and get off at Shi'ao Village.

Youth is only a neon
time on the ground after the rain. It is just a repeated life
Hong Kong. It is a highly prosperous international metropolis. Hong Kong and New York and London are also called "Newport Harbor". It is the third largest financial center in the world.
Hong Kong Street View is an important scene in Hong Kong drama. This set of photos was randomly shot in Hong Kong, and the photos were processed into dark tones to pay tribute to the Hong Kong drama. Some friends feel good, some don't look good, how to deal with it, choose a good filter through software, reduce the saturation, reduce the exposure.
Hong Kong's streetscape, brightly colored, is very suitable for shooting a group of portraits on the street. However, it should be noted that the choice of non-Tsim Sha Tsui is very large and it is not easy to form a piece.

Shek O, Hong Kong: The most beautiful ecological fishing village on Hong Kong Island, well worth a deep visit!
Hong Kong is the most developed island city within our country, and together with Shanghai, it serves as a window city for China's international outreach. In the general public's perception, Hong Kong is synonymous with skyscrapers or high cost of living and consumption, but this is not the case. At the southernmost tip of Hong Kong Island, there is a lesser-known village called Shek O, with beautiful scenery and low consumption, making it very suitable for in-depth travel. Now, let me share some practical information about visiting Shek O Village!
1. Transportation information: Public transportation in Hong Kong is very convenient. You can reach any place you want to go by taking the subway or bus. Although Shek O is far from the city, there is a direct bus from the city area. Take the subway or bus to Shau Kei Wan Bus Terminus, then transfer to Citybus route 9 or New World First Bus route 9. Take New World First Bus route X9 from Central Pier to Shek O Bus Terminus.
2. Ticket information: Shek O Village is a public open village, and the beach and hiking parks are open to the public for free.
3. Accommodation issues: The Shek O area is not commercialized, so there are no accommodations to choose from. It is recommended to stay in the North Point area of Hong Kong for convenient travel back and forth.
4. Dining issues: In Shek O, there are simple meal-type restaurants operated by villagers, with an average consumption of about 120 Hong Kong dollars per person. It is recommended that dining in groups will be more cost-effective.
5. Duration of visit: The scenery in Shek O is very nice, and the beaches are of high quality, suitable for in-depth travel. It is recommended to visit for 1 day. The last bus back to Hong Kong city center from Shek O is at 1:30 am, so there is no need to worry about travel issues.

Heading east on Hong Kong Island
Route: Shek O👉Taikoo👉Causeway Bay👉Wan Chai👉Central
Shek O: Take the MTR to Shau Kei Wan and change to bus 9 or minibus, about 20 minutes to Shek O Village. A beautiful and tranquil seaside village, with a beach on one side and rocks on the other, the scenery is very good, highly recommended.👍👍👍
Taikoo: Coming out of Taikoo Station is the Monster Building🏢, a filming location for Transformers 4, a high-density population gathering place is quite magical, street markets, trams🚎, and the flow of people interweave a very old Hong Kong flavor.
Causeway Bay: A famous commercial district, you can get a 'Hong Kong Gift' on the first floor of the World Trade Center, each person can get one with a pass, a 100 Hong Kong dollar coupon, after 6 pm, it can only be used for dining, thanks to the Hong Kong Tourism Board for the late-night snack.🤣🤣🤣(Experience the prices in Hong Kong for yourself)
Wan Chai, Central: Just like the scenery on both sides of the magic city, it's always fascinating.
