Not New Zealand! Not Thailand! It’s Hong Kong🇭🇰

💞Reasons to Recommend: One day, I went on the Dragon’s Back (Shek O Country Park) and was amazed by the breathtaking views from up there! This hike is suitable even for beginners: there’s just one trail, with no extremely steep climbs. ———————— 🚌 How to get there? Take the bus number 9 from Shau Kei Wan. Get off at To Tei Wan—this is where the trail begins. The whole trip takes only 15 minutes. From the same stop, you can also take the same bus to Shek O Beach, a free beach with stunning turquoise sea. #localguides #familytrip #scenicspotguide #hongkong #hiking #beaches #scenicspotphotoguide

Shek O

Mussel-Hunting Adventures at Shek O Beach 🦪🌊✨ If you’re up for a unique seaside experience, Shek O is Hong Kong’s laid-back coastal gem where the gentle waves and rocky edges invite you to connect with nature in a hands-on way—mussel picking! 🏖️ Start your day by strolling Shek O Beach’s east side at low tide, when exposed rocks near the cliff base reveal little clusters of wild mussels. Slip on waterproof shoes (those rocks are sharp!) and pack a small bucket for your haul. Mussel gathering here is a fun way to interact with the local seascape—just double-check the water quality before biting into your bounty. Remember, only take what you need and respect the local ecosystem! In between mussel hunting, snap insta-worthy shots with the dramatic ocean cliffs as your backdrop—especially at golden hour, when colours pop and the crowd thins out. Explore the old village lanes for pastel walls and quirky, weathered architecture: perfect for candid beach day photos. ✨ Quick Tips: Shek O is open all day, year-round, but tides matter! Check tide timings for best picking and easier walks. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water—shade is limited. The bus from Shau Kei Wan MTR is easy and drops you super close. Key Precaution: Mussels here aren’t regulated for consumption and Hong Kong’s water quality varies—so only eat them if you know it’s safe, and rinse thoroughly. #HongKong #ShekO #BeachLife #LocalAdventures #NatureExperience
