It’s actually not expensive! ! Time-honored seafood food stall... It has been opened in Saigon for 35 years🦀 It really deserves its reputation! ! The seafood is extremely fresh, with many large varieties, and is caught fresh every day. You must try the Jelly Sea in Saigon! It’s so chill to sit on the beach and eat seafood~ Eating, drinking and playing in Hong Kong are not cheap, including tea restaurants. I think everything in this seafood restaurant is very fresh and Michelin-rated. All dishes are freshly made, not pre-made! ! If you think it's expensive, you can buy it and process it yourself at the pier. To be honest, wherever you go to eat seafood, it's very cheap. Depending on the variety and cuisine you eat, there will be casual food and expensive food. This scene and the price make you think It’s worth visiting or looking for a restaurant🍴 you can try it~

Discover the most beautiful glass sea in Hong Kong!!! It's beautiful.

The glass sea in Hong Kong is so beautiful!! The sea water is as clear as jelly 🌊 The water is clear and the sand is fine. When I posted it on my Moments, everyone thought I went to Southeast Asia. Who would have thought that you don't need to go abroad to enjoy such high-quality sea water on a small island in Hong Kong 😭 Location: Sai Kung Outlying Islands ⛵ Travel: Depart from Sai Kung Pier and arrive in 15 minutes There are more than 200 large and small islands in Hong Kong, and the islands are full of joy this summer 🧃🏖️🤿🚣🏻‍♀️🐟

Sai Kung's nostalgic old-style Western steakhouse.

Address - Shop on the ground floor, 76 Po Tung Road, Sai Kung Environment/Facilities - Retro decor Features - Romantic ambiance Average Price - $100/person Rating - 7.5/10 It was my first visit, and as I passed by the entrance, it felt like an old-fashioned steakhouse. They offer set lunches on weekends, with the average price being under $100 per person. The restaurant's interior is antique, likely with decades of history, and is well-maintained. The portions are very generous, including soup, bread, a main course, and a beverage; ladies might find it too much to finish. Overall, the service and food quality are above average, though it does show some signs of age.

Hong Kong's Leisurely Back Garden.

First, let's explain some history. The old Sai Kung Pier was overloaded and busy in the 1980s. To solve the problem, the Hong Kong government started the construction of the new Sai Kung Public Pier in 2007, which was completed in 2009 and is managed by the Marine Department. The pier is mainly used for ferry services (small boats carrying passengers to and from various small islands) for embarking and disembarking passengers or a small amount of cargo. Along the coast, there are several ferry ticket counters, and visitors can also organize a group of 8 people for a private ferry tour around the Sai Kung coast. Nearby, there is a bus terminal with routes to the city center or Pak Tam Chung, as well as to Lady MacLehose Holiday Village. There are convenience stores, supermarkets, various bakeries, restaurants, and pubs. Near the bus terminal, there is a Volcano Discovery Centre and public restrooms. Overall, the Sai Kung area is beautiful and vast, making it a great place to spend several weekends for outings.

Hong Kong Travel Guide | There's a crystal-clear sea in Hong Kong too!

🇭🇰 A friend told me that there are over two hundred islands in Hong Kong! With such abundant island resources, it's a no-brainer to set off in the summer heat~ This time, I'm sharing about an outlying island in Sai Kung - High Island Bay. The water here is clear and the sand is fine. Right by the shore, there's a wealth of corals and fish 🐟, and you can see the bottom when passing by on a boat!!! Exotic atmosphere and a sense of being on a deserted island are maxed out 👌 That's right, you don't need to go to Thailand or the Maldives, you can encounter the crystal-clear sea in 🇭🇰 Hong Kong. But you'll need to charter a boat to get there, departing from Sai Kung pier by speedboat~ It takes about 30min to reach the bay (along the way you'll pass through super beautiful waters, where you can see a lot of marine erosion landforms 🥺). Besides snorkeling 🤿, boat parties, and swimming, you can also hike here (but it's a wild trail with some difficulty). The famous Hap Mun Bay is on this island

Fabulous Day to explore Hong Kong’s ocean 🌊

Hong Kong really made me feel joyful! It was such a good day to spend some spare time with my friends to explore the ocean. The weather on that day was perfect for surfing and I and my friend decided to play wake surf. Wake surf is a water sport that a person riding behind the boat. For me, it was an unforgettable memory and was my first time to do the wake surf. I tried lots of times to stand up and at the end I am able to stand for 3minutes! Highly recommend this water sport ! #blog

CHARMING seaside Town 😍 Sai Kung Day Trip ❤️🇭🇰

#visithongkong If you're looking for a fun day trip in Hong Kong, Sai Kung should be at the top of your list! Sai Kung is a charming seaside town, and it has something for everyone! It has activities ranging from hiking trails with stunning views to dining at delicious seafood restaurants and popping around quaint shops. You can spend the morning exploring the town's bustling markets and colorful streets, then head out on a boat tour to explore the beautiful islands and hidden coves that dot the coastline. After working up an appetite, indulge in some of the freshest seafood you'll ever taste at one of the many waterfront restaurants. Don't forget to snap some photos of the gorgeous scenery along the way! Sai Kung is one of the my favorite day trip options. ❤️

Saigon relaxed and fresh pet-friendly cafe 🐾

I love taking my furry friend 🐶 to Sai Kung on weekends, where he can walk by the sea and I can leisurely enjoy a brunch or tea 🫖 at a cafe. There's a new cafe on Sai Kung Main Street with a minimalist wooden decor and a lush green outdoor seating area. Their menu mainly features light meals such as all-day breakfast, pasta 🍝, bagels 🥯, sandwiches 🥪, and more. I ordered the smoked salmon fruit salad 🥗 and the crispy fruit yogurt 🍇🍊, both of which were refreshing and delicious. The salad was rich in ingredients and fresh, with grapes, cucumbers, dragon fruit, cherry tomatoes, and more. The yogurt was beautifully presented, with a sweet and sour taste that whetted my appetite, and came with two pieces of crispy toast. I also tried the matcha latte and lime soda, both of which were rich and smooth, with a slightly bitter taste. Address: Deer Coffee, Shop 25, Sai Kung Market Street. #deercoffee #SaiKungfood #hkcafe #petfriendly #hkdog

🇭🇰A great hiking spot for Hong Kong border crossing | Bai Shui Wan 🌊🪨⛰️ Starting from Sai Kung Pier ⛵️, the difficulty is not high, and the whole journey can be completed in just over an hour. It is suitable for those who want to take a walk without feeling too tired and sore the next day. Crossing through the jungle and arriving at the seaside is truly healing 🥰🥰.

Cozy Coffee in Sai Kung - cozy indeed

With its openness and airy atmosphere, Cozy Coffee is a cafe you cannot miss when you’re in the neighborhood. The deco is like a quiet library accented with the aroma of coffee. You can sit at the open counter looking outside for people watching, or sit in the zen-style inside. A variety of coffee is available, hand drip, handcrafted, specialty like Affogato etc Sweets and bakery items here are delightful too! Address: Cozy Coffee (西貢) 西貢普通道72-74號地下及1樓

Hong Kong Foodie - Sai Kung - The Cabin

The Cabin has been around for years but hasn’t got the attention like the other eateries in Sai Kung, though it’s just across the road from the famous local dessert shop “Honey Moon” 滿記. Expect very high quality food in this small bistro - we started with a special soup, roasted sweet peppers blended in cream, warming and delicious. For mains one of us chose lamb shank, tenderly braised in a savoury red wine sauce, the other is roasted pork belly, with crispy skin it was a delicacy. We both chose to add a little sub charge to our mains ($88) to make it a set so soup/salad, dessert and drink will be included. For dessert the pear cooked in red wine was light and pleasantly sweet. Do expect to have a long meal here - they prepare their food freshly after order so usually a 3-course dinner takes around 2 hours! The Cabin Cafe & Restaurant address: 西貢普通道183C號地下

Brunch time by the sea!

Turtle by the Sea is located at Waterfront Park, 1 Wai Man Road, Sai Kung. They have restaurant and bar on one side and cafe at the other. The restaurant has a direct view to the Sai Kung sea where you can enjoy the salty and cool wind from the sea and fill your stomach before your adventure started. Food order: Soft shell crab croissant with melted cheddar cheese Huevos Roncheros Combo mini puff to satisfy my sweet tooth The food are good, but I think what makes people keep coming back is the vibe and the environment of the cafe. Definitely worth a visit if you are near the area. #cafe #brunch

escape from the crowded @saikung Hong Kong

Winter is already here but don’t forget about the summer time in Hong Kong. Sai Kong is a place in Hong Kong that with all the beautiful beaches around. You can take a 30 minutes minibus from Mong Kok to Sai Kung. In Sai Kung, you can experience a totally different face of Hong Kong. You can start the day with having a brunch here, by the sea. Then take a ship to visit all the islands. (the more you pay, the less people beaches you can reach) I chose to take a 30 minute ship and that’s the beach with very little people. See you next year, my favourite beach in Hong Kong! #beach #summer

Nice hiking in Wong Shek pier

What can we do in Wong Shek pier? We can try the tree walk trail, the family walk trail, or have a barbecue with friends or camping. I love this trail. No worries about taking this trail in the daytime when the sun is burning, and trees are covering us from the sun. Even though covered by trees, we still can enjoy the sea view. Some sailing boat ⛵️⛵️ roaming around makes the surrounding more lively. To get to Wong Shek Pier, take bus number 94 from Sai Kung, or 96R from Diamond Hill. Please note that bus number 96R operates during weekends and holidays only. #hikingtrails #awesomepic #summervacation

Convenient Cafe with a view

Turtle by the Sea is split into two parts- a restaurant and bar on one side and a cafe on the other. I came to the cafe for an afternoon coffee on my way to meet friends in Sai Kung. I chose the outer part and ordered caramel coffee and strawberry cream puff. The drink and snack were perfect for an afternoon full of breeze and a nice view. There are also pizza, pasta, salad, sandwich, and a long list of drinks that are suitable to grab before continuing the trip to the islands in Sai Kung area. Address: Waterfront Park, 1 Wai Man Road Saikung (opposite Sai Kung ferry Pier no.1,2,3,4,5,6). #cafe #coffee #sea View

Super Fresh Seafood Galore at the Pier

Hung Kee Seafood Restaurant is a spacious restaurant by the Sai Kung Pier. It is a two-storey restaurant, but the best spot is outside the ground floor, where you can feel the breeze while eating. The live fishes, lobster, clamshell,etc. next to the restaurant door are fantastic. The restaurant offers super fresh seafood at reasonable prices. I am a seafood lover, and I enjoy eating lobster cooked with creamy noodles and crab with a strong taste of ginger, shrimps, and steamboat fish. All taste super yummy to me. It was a pleasant experience with the seafood galore of this restaurant. I came here for dinner with friends. We were eight, but we ordered a dinner set for six people. It turns out we almost could not finish the dishes. I can’t ask for more but recommend this place for the seafood lover. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Average price per person: HK$.150-HK$.250 #foodie #seafood #seafoodrestaurant #saikung

Looking at Hap Mun from a high level

Hap Mun is on the list of the most favorite beaches in Hong Kong. It is known for its crystal clear water and fine sand. Usually crowded during the weekend and holidays, so try to come earlier if you want the best spot. Hap Mun has facilities like a toilet, shower, changing room, a kiosk where we can rent or buy kinds of stuff for swimming, snacks, and drinks, and a barbeque area. Standby lifeguard and shark net make us feel safe to play in the water. It will be so much fun if we can camp there, have a barbeque at night and enjoy the beach in the morning. But I don't know whether it is allowed or not. When it is too crowded, you can try the other side of the beach however, it is rocky, you better put on sandshoes. It has no lifeguard and shark net as well. The last time we went there, we tried the hiking track. In summer time it's burning 😎, but it's worth it when we can see such a beautiful panorama lying before us. Make sure to bring enough water. How to get there: Take ferry from Sai Kung pier #bucketlistreboot #awesomepic #hikingtrails

Hiking with a magical view 🤩

Isn’t it magical? Contrast combination between light brown 🟤 soil with blue cyan water💧. It looks unreal, like a painting 🎨, but it is real. You can enjoy this magical panoramic while hiking from the Sai Wan pavilion to the small hilltop. We took this trail several times yet can’t just pass through. Seems like, It's drawing you to stop for a minute or more ⏰. I can never let my eyes 👁👁miss this view. Another thing, many kinds of wildflowers 🌺🌸along the way. It was June when we went there and I made a stop several times just to capture 📸 their beauty. This trail is considered easy. After reaching the small hilltop, the path will be a bit steep going down to the beach. On the way 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️to the beach 🏖, there's an organic field, paddy🌾, fruit 🍉🍋and vegetables 🌽🍆🍅, you may buy some of them if you come during harvesting time. How to get there: ~ by taxi 🚕from Sai Kung; or ~ take a special bus 🚌(village bus NR29) from Chan Man Street (in front of Mc. Donalds) ~ travel time is about 30 mins to get to Sai Wan Pavilion and another 30 mins hiking to get to the Sai Wan beach 🏖. You may consider putting on sunglasses 🕶, and a hat 🧢, and bring enough water 🥤, especially during summertime 🌞. #hiking #naturelover #panoramicview
