There are fantastic beaches and amazing treks to be made the green mountains. The Shek Big Wave Bay, dotted with beautiful beaches, on the eastern side of the New Territories is a great place for sun worshippers. It’s possible to reach this area by taxi or bus from Sai Kung to the Sai Kung East Country Park, but that leaves an hour of tough walking. A better option is to rent a boat in Sai Kung -it’s a beautiful sail, which passes stunning views of white beaches, red rocks and soaring hills.will trae are more than 200 smaller islands around Hong Kong. Going to Tap Mun Chau Island There will transport you to another age you won’t believe that one of the world’s busiest cities is right around the corner. Stepping off the ferry you arrive in a small fishing village with scenery reminiscent of a Norwegia gian fjord, though quite a bit warmer. All about the island, deeply tanned fisherman lay their catch out in the sun to dry their clothes a far cry from the business suits seen in Central. Walks around the small island are quite tranquil.
While getting to these outlying areas isn’t as fast as taking the metro from Central to Kowloon, the ferry connections are frequent. For more convenience though, you can rent a fast speedboat or leisurely junk.
