[2024 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Discovery Bay (Updated Dec)

A Journey of Exotic Flavors

Discovery Bay truly feels like a place abroad, with about 80% of the people around being foreigners. There are many restaurants run by foreigners here. Today, we chose a rather unique and rare Turkish cuisine. The restaurant has a comfortable environment, with an outdoor area that offers a sea view. There are two heart-shaped seats, perfect for taking photos. The menu is bilingual (Chinese and English), and most dishes come with pictures and main ingredients listed, making it easy for customers to order. Yogurt Soup It looks a bit like mushroom soup, with rice at the bottom. The texture is not too thick, and it has a slightly sour and salty taste, which is quite unique. The soup comes with homemade bread, which is warm and soft. You can dip the bread in the soup to enhance the texture. Lamb with Fries (Wedges) The lamb is not too gamey, so even those who are sensitive to the taste of lamb can try it. The fries (wedges) are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a strong potato flavor. The accompanying salad with pickled vegetables is appetizing and helps to reduce the greasiness of eating too much meat. Classic Eggplant Dip (Appetizer) This appetizer is made from mashed eggplant mixed with olive oil, garlic, sesame, and lemon juice. It is a dish rich in Turkish characteristics. The garlic flavor is not too strong, and it is not spicy. You can dip bread in this appetizer, and it pairs well. Turkish Coffee Made to order, we chose it without sugar. It might have a higher caffeine content, so it has a strong bitter taste and a rich, thick texture. The cup size is small, which is quite special. Baklava with Ice Cream & Double Scoop Ice Cream (Pistachio and Coconut) The baklava is made with a pastry crust filled with crushed nuts and syrup. Although it is filled with syrup, it is not overly sweet or sticky. The crunchy nuts and layered pastry texture, combined with the chewy Turkish vanilla ice cream, make a perfect match. The coconut ice cream has a real coconut texture, which is genuine and highly recommended. Pasha Turkish Cuisine Address: Shop G08A, G/F, D’Deck, Discovery Bay

I Discovered a Bay…Discovery Bay!

Attraction name: Discovery Bay Location: Lantau island in Hong Kong Getting there: Take the ferry…a 30-minute ride from Central HK. Discovery Bay is a beautiful location for a day trip in Hong Kong. There is a stunning beach here about five minutes from where you alight from the boat. Walk a little further like I did and you can climb one of the nearby mountains. A short thirty minute hike and you are treated with wonderful epic views of the bay. A stunning place for hikers and photographers! #hongkongtrip #Discoverybay

Weekend break @ Discovery Bay

Fell in love with this amazing place. Enjoyed the stunning view, the sea and the beach. It’s definitely worthwhile to pay a visit to the white chapel. Looks great no matter in daytime or at night. Cool place to chill a bit not matter you’re coming alone, with your friends and family. #discoverybay #dayandnight #refresh #relax #familytime #Holidaychoice #hongkong

Holiday and Christmas Wonderland in Discovery Bay

Discovery Bay is at the northeastern coast of Lantau Island. It transformed into a wonderland featuring a European joyous atmosphere in 2022, festive decorations embellish every corner! Christmas Sunday Markets in December invited visitors to browse a wide array of Christmas-themed merchandise. Visitors immersed in festive music and elevating dance performance while enjoying the relax and open environment. Discovery Bay Ice Rink is a new destination in Discovery Bay. During Christmas, it held Christmas events such as figure skating show and speed skating practice. At the Discovery Bay North Tower, there was a 10-metre tall giant Christmas tree. Winter snow falling from the sky during weekends for few minutes creating a white Chirstmas. Just a little walk to the coast, it is the love lock promenade. It is a nice location taking photos at night there with hearts in red and golden colours. Food and beverages, supermarket and retail shops are available in both parts of Discovery Bay. Visitors can choose to dine in the restaurants or order takeaway and enjoy the food at the open table. If you want an inspiring retreat, you can just take a ferry or MTR trip/ bus ride to the Discovery Bay during weekdays and weekends.

Playground on the beach by Discovery Bay Pier

You may have seen playground by the sea but this is not your usual playground - it’s a big playground on sand, with all kinds of equipment, walls and net to climb, slides for the younger and the bolder, swings, tunnel to hide etc etc. After too much jumping and running, children can calm down by making a sandcastle or looking for shells in the sand. Seagulls and egrets can be easily spotted close to the shore! The beach is very easily accessible, just steps away from the Discovery Bay pier, and if in need of toilet, you can use the ones in the plaza or the new mall. #playground #beach #kidsfun

Discovery Bay North Plaza

DB North Plaza is certainly delightful! Where can you find a place with dinner options of Thai, Viet, pizza, kebab, Cal-Amex etc on a Friday night without lining up? And a big, well-stocked supermarket with colorful fresh produce you can’t find elsewhere in Hong Kong, and even with a corner of IKEA furniture, zakka and frozen food? And a Starbucks with tables outdoor that you can sit leisurely on a sunny weekend morning?  Another lovely cafe option is the long-standing Uncle Russ. Or just take any wooden table by the seaside and enjoy the sun! Don’t forget the beach nearby, and the famous little church.

Great outdoors break

Discovery Bay is a mostly residential area on Lantau Island that has a sort of resort feel due to the fact that private vehicles are prohibited in the area. This really provides this place with a sense of calm that is absent in many other places in Hong Kong. As such, it's a popular weekend destination for families to enjoy a bit of quietness and have a feeling that theu are somewhere outside of HK. There is also a hotel in the area, so that's good for those who want to spend a few days. Getting there is easy as there are ferries from Central. A cheaper option would be to take the bus from either Tung Chung or Sunny Bay MTR stations. Apart from this resort feel, DB also boasts a beach that can get crowded on summer weekends. There are also multiple hiking trails in and around DB, which vary in difficulty. Expect to wear good hiking shoes and bring plenty of water if you do decide to hike. You can even hike all the way to Tung Chung or Mui Wo. Overall, DB is a great place to relax and get away from the business of HK. Having that resort feel, you'll feel as if you're out of HK. Outdoor activities are also a great way to enjoy this lovely area!

Taste of Thai Cuisine & Bar I know I have to give it a try when I heard the waiters speaking authentic Thai to each other. Hence, we walk in for dinner. Its just me and Mr, so there’s only so much I could order 😂 but I know I will go back for more! Thai Coffee is well roasted, not too sweetened, not dripped but definitely not the HK style ice coffee you ordered elsewhere. Minced Pork with Lettuces is my favourite! Their stir fry minced pork taste wonderful, not too soft or juicy but the flavour is rich and it’s not dry. It’s perfect on rice, so beside the lettuce, I ordered steam rice 🍚 all because of the minced pork. Pad Thai is my second favourite of the night. Right amount of oil and moist, not too dry (they’ll stick together like dough) and definitely not too wet (or it’ll be a mouthful of oils). It’s delightful with a pint of lemon and spice. Roasted Pork Jowl with papaya salad is mouthwatering. Freshness of the papaya salad is perfect as appetising. A little spicy for local taste but definitely acceptable for me Malaysian 😏 Roasted pork jowl/ neck is surprisingly tender and juicy. I’m definitely coming back for more.

Discovery Bay is the place to fully enjoy the slow life. ▫️ For a more enriching itinerary, you can also visit the North Plaza to see the clock tower and the white chapel. Additionally, there are hiking trails👣 on the island, perfect for walking enthusiasts. ▫️ 🗺️Suggested route: North Plaza ⬇️ Tai Pak Bay Beach ⬇️ Discovery Bay Plaza ⬇️ Discovery Bay Pier ▫️ 📍How to get there: Ferry⛴️ Take the ferry from Central Pier No. 3 to Discovery Bay, which takes about 25 minutes.

Crunchy pizza under le ciel bleu et la mer turquoise

Just happened to be in DiscoveryBay on a pleasant sunny day! Couldn’t resist the light sea breeze and so spent a lovely afternoon in a restaurant by the shore! It’s a great place to walk around in leisurely fashion! Families with kids all around but you could still bask in the tranquility of the area, probably because of the oceanic charm! Wished so much to stay for longer!

Easy hike in DB

Discovery Bay is not only a quiet and sleepy community. It also has great hiking trails, some of which aren't difficult and are paved. A good suggestion is to walk up to the reservoir from the plaza. It's along sidewalks the whole way so it isn't difficult or strenuous. Along the way, you'll find greenery and relaxing waterways. It also isn't too busy so you can walk in relative peace. Once at the reservoir, you can rest up before heading back down. You'll also see HK's famous skyline from afar. All in all a good walk! #hk #explore #exercise #hike #walk #nature
