Tired of the crowds in Mong Kok and Causeway Bay? Find a nice day and rush to Wong Mau Chau! This hidden island off the coast of Sai Kung has water as clear as glass, with plenty of tropical fish and sea urchins swimming alongside you—truly Hong Kong locals' backyard garden~
There are no residents here, so it's super peaceful! As soon as you get off the boat, you'll see an insanely beautiful beach, and just a few steps away is the "Concubine Pool"~ The best part is definitely snorkeling! Put on your mask and dive into the water to immediately see the colorful underwater world; if you're lucky, you might even spot a cuttlefish! After swimming, go hiking—the white lighthouse at the summit, No. 118, and the cement stairs that are a hit on Instagram guarantee 100% photo-worthy shots!
⚠️ Remember to bring enough food and water, as there are no supplies on the island; UV rays are very strong, so apply plenty of sunscreen spray and wear a stinger suit! Also, there’s barely any signal on the island, so let your family know before you go~ For friends wanting to escape the hustle and bustle and immerse themselves in nature, Wong Mau Chau is truly a must-visit!
