Nostalgic movie check-in point

Xiwan Swimming Shed is a hidden retro check-in secret spot! Every shot has a nostalgic movie feel.

It is recommended to go at dusk when the light is softest and there are fewer people (there is no shade in the midday sun). The location is relatively secluded and requires a 15-minute walk down the mountain from Xiwan Pavilion, but the green shade along the way is very comfortable. The swimming shed has a simple structure but is full of the old Hong Kong style. When the tide is low, you can walk onto the reef to take in the view. If you are looking for convenience or an internet-famous cafe, you may be disappointed, but if you love the retro atmosphere, it is a must-visit!

🚊Take the MTR to Kennedy Station Exit C, walk along Forbes Street, Cadogan Street, Victoria Road, and go straight after passing the Waste Transfer Station to reach the entrance of Sai Wan Chung Sing Swimming Shed, which is about a 15-minute walk.
📸Golden shooting time: 18:00-19:00 in summer (1 hour before sunset)
You can walk down to the reef area at low tide to get more shooting angles (check the Hong Kong Observatory tide table)
