Hung Shing Ye Beach

I think bringing your own snacks and drinks can really save you some cash. The beachside shops are nice, but prices can add up quick.

I recommend visiting the beach in the moring around 9 AM. It's way less crowded and the water is super clear then. Perfect for a morning swim!

If you're into exploring, check out the nearby hiking trails after sunbathing. They're not too strenuous and the views are totally awesome! Just be cautious of the time, so you don’t miss the last ferry back!

Sunscreen is a must! Even if it's cloudy, you can still get burnt. I got pretty red even after just a couple of hours. Better safe than sorry!
St. Stephen's Beach

I recommend exploring the nearby hiking trails that lead to the beach for some stunning views—they're super close. I didn’t do it at first, and regretted it later!

If you’re looking to make the most of your beach time, bring your own towels and beach mats. Renting them can add up, and it’s nice to have your own stuff. I learned this the hard way!
I suggest bringing some snacks and drinks—there aren’t many shops nearby and prices can be a bit steep. Plus enjoying a picnic vibe by the beach is super relaxing!
Cheung Po Tsai Cave
Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden

I recommend starting your visit around 9 AM to beat the heat and avoid the crowds. It gives you plenty of time to explore the gardens and enjoy the animals without feeling rushed

I suggest bringing your own snacks and water, as the food options there can be a bit pricey. Plus, there are some lovely picnic spots where you can relax and take in the views!
Ng Tung Chai Waterfall

If you want to avoid the crowds, I suggest visiting on a weekday, ideally around 10 AM. I went on a Sunday and it was packed, making it tough to enjoy the views.

bring some snacks and plenty of water. the trails are a bit tiring, and prices at the few shops nearby might catch you off guard. i learned this the hard way.
South Bay Beach

My advice is to explore the local trails before hitting the beach. The views from the paths are stunning, and it’s a great way to beat the crowds. I found the walk really refreshing before a long day in the sun.
I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks to South Bay Beach. The nearby shops can be a bit pricey so save some cash and enjoy a picnic on the sand. Plus you'll have more time to relax and soak up that sun!
Kowloon Walled City Park

I suggest bringing some snacks and water. There aren't many food options nearby, so you can save some cash and still enjoy a nice break in the park.

I think the best time to visit is around 8 AM before the crowds hit. You'll get great photos with soft morning light and can enjoy the peaceful vibe of the park

My advice is to download a map of the park beforehand. I got a bit lost trying to find the historical landmarks, and a little prep would've made it easier!
Mai Po Nature Reserve

I suggest you bring binoculars... You won't want to miss the amazing birdwatching opportunities, especially during the winter months... I saw some rare species up close and it was the highlight of my visit

My advice is to check the tide times before you go; I didn't and ended up missing some areas because they were underwater. Planning around low tide can really enhance your experience
Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve

If you're into birdwatching, don't forget your binoculars! I missed some great views of rare birds because I didn’t have mine. It’s worth the extra weight in your bag.

I recommend packing some snacks and water. There are limited facilities in the reserve, and it’s nice to take a break and enjoy your food surrounded by nature
