big day out
TUNG PING CHAU
Rory Mackay explores Hong Kong’s most remote island Rugged, windswept and diverse, Tung Ping Chau possesses something for everyone. From family-friendly walks and pristine white sandy beaches to rock formation adventures and historical rekeys. No matter how you wish to play things, this will be a full day outing at the very least. There are only two ways to reach Tung Ping Chau, either by private/chartered boat or by taking the public ferry (weekends and public holidays only) from Ma Liu Shui in Sha Tin.

The ferry journey from Ma Liu Shui takes one and a half hours to complete, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the views of Tolo Harbour. A landscape of tranquil channels lined with red rocks (unique to this part of Hong Kong), before emerging upon the open waters of Mirs Bay. Located in the heart of the Tung Ping Chau close to the pier, lies the only major settlement of note on the isle and definitely deserves a pit spot upon arrival. After a refreshing drink and bite to eat, one could easily spend the best part of a couple of hours strolling
the adjacent Northeastern beaches, interspersed by crumbling Hakka houses and shade yielding Banyans.
