Arrive at Ma Liu Shui Pier and queue up to buy a ferry ticket to Tung Ping Chau (HKD 100 round trip). (Tung Ping Chau Island only has one ferry to the island at 09:00 every weekend, so don't miss the ferry.) Be sure to keep your ticket safe. If you lose it, you will need to pay HKD 100 for it.

Arriving at Tung Ping Chau, we began our circular island hike. This area is home to a remarkable work of nature, where layers of sedimentary rock have been formed through 55 million years of seawater erosion. Designated a UNESCO World Geopark, the island's unique rocks are considered one of Hong Kong's four wonders. The island is uninhabited on weekdays, with boats only available on weekends and holidays. Aside from a few local convenience stores, the island is pristine nature, with its azure seas, blue skies, and wondrous rocks, creating a truly idyllic paradise.
11:30
When we arrived at the location of "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", the team leader organized a lunch for everyone and took aerial photos together.

After the aerial photography, we continued hiking around the island, passing by check-in spots such as Genglou Rock, Longluoshui, and Zhanjingzhou.
4:45 PM
Return in time and queue up at Tung Ping Chau Pier to take the 5:15 ferry back to Ma Liu Shui Pier.
6:30 PM
The ferry will arrive at Ma Liu Shui Pier in an estimated 1.5 hours. We'll then walk to East Rail University Station, marking the end of our trip. (Tourists who don't want to return to Shenzhen can continue their tour in Hong Kong on their own after the group disbands.)
