It’s less than a half-hour drive from Tin Shui Wai/Yuen Long town center, no need for hiking, and you can still embrace the most beautiful sunset while capturing the stunning skyline of the Shenzhen Bay Bridge and Shenzhen’s iconic “Spring Bamboo Shoot” skyscraper all in one view~

3️⃣ A 3-minute walk will take you to the Lau Fau Shan waterfront viewing platform. Remember to turn on your phone’s GPS; the sunset direction is right next to the “Lau Fau Shan Public Pier”!
