Must-Photo Spot 1: Stunning Natural “Sky Bridge” 🌉🩴💦

The most eye-catching sight upon landing is the natural sandbar connecting Sharp Island to the opposite shore! When the tide is low, a long “Sky Bridge” appears. Walking on the sand feels like walking on the sea!

Photo tips:

Shoot from a low side angle so the sandbar and distant mountains form a straight line, creating a strong sense of depth!

Have your subject stand in the middle to capture the entire bridge with symmetrical and powerful composition!

Couples can hold hands and walk across the bridge for a super romantic photo spot~

Friendly reminders:

Check the tide schedule carefully! The sandbar only appears at low tide~

Remember to wear flip-flops or water shoes, as your feet will likely get wet~

Must-Photo Spot 3: Hilltop Sea View 🌄🌊🐚

In the middle of the island, there’s an easy hill trail (10-15 minutes uphill). From the top, you get a 360-degree view of Sai Kung’s sea and nearby islands.
Feel the sea breeze and gaze at the endless blue sky and white clouds—your mood will instantly reset!

Tips:

The rooftop spot is perfect for panoramic shots or posing.

Remember to bring a hat and water; the trail is short but has no shade~
