[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Sharp Island (Updated May)

Escape the city crowds during your Hong Kong vacation and explore a different side of Hong Kong's waters. The sea in Sai Kung, Hong Kong, is breathtakingly beautiful from every angle. There really is a blue glass sea; if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought I was abroad. It's truly unbelievably stunning. Location: Sharp Island, Sai Kung 🚤 Transportation: Purchase round-trip tickets at Sai Kung Pier for HK$30 (Remember to keep your ticket stub for the return trip). Hike the Long Ke Wan Country Trail, where you can enjoy westward views of High Junk Peak, southward views of Clear Water Bay, and eastward views of Green Egg Island. It's known as Hong Kong's mini-Bali. Location: Clear Water Bay Country Park 🚌 Transportation: Take the MTR to Tseung Kwan O Station and then bus 103M, getting off at Tai Au Mun. 💚 Please take your trash with you. Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility. 🙇🏾‍♀️🙏 Finally, on your way back to the city center, you can stop by PopCorn/The LOHAS in Tseung Kwan O to enjoy a perfect day of dining, shopping, and entertainment. Location: It's right at Exit C of Tseung Kwan O MTR Station. 🛍️Tips: Show your passport/Entry-Exit Permit for Hong Kong and Macau at the service desk to prove your tourist status, and you'll receive a list of discounts and various promo codes that can be used at PopCorn mall! PopCorn mall is huge, with a wide range of brands. I recommend Hashtag B, which has long queues and has now opened in Tseung Kwan O. How can you not try their super popular egg tarts 🥧 and coffee pineapple buns? 🤩

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Sharp Island, the smallest outlying island country park in Hong Kong, is located east of Sai Kung and west of Kau Sai Chau. If you depart from Sai Kung Pier, it will take about 10 minutes to arrive by ferry. Sharp Island has a natural beach, magnificent geological wonders, and is surrounded by islands, reefs and mountains. The scenery is intoxicating and it is also a great place for snorkeling. There are two beaches on Sharp Island. Sharp Island Beach stretches from north to west, while Xiamen Bay Beach is located on the south side of the island. This half-sand, half-rock beach has endless blue sky and blue sea, making it perfect for swimming or sunbathing. Sharp Island has a unique landscape. When the tide is low, a natural sand and gravel embankment connecting Sharp Island to Sharp Island appears at the west end of the island - the Island Linking Sandbar. You can stroll along this narrow corridor in the middle of the sea and walk to the small lighthouse at the end. There are various strange rocks along the way. It is the Hong Kong version of Paradise Road and is great for taking photos. #HongKongTourism #Sai Kung #Sharp Island

The hiking route I will introduce today is a very simple route suitable for men, women and children. Not only can you enjoy the unbeatable sea views on both sides of the mountain road, but you can also visit two of the most famous islands closest to Sai Kung at once - Sharp Island and hike to Half Moon Bay (also called Xiamen Bay). 🌟🌟🌟 First, take the street ferry to Sai Kung Public Pier to reach Sharp Island. After getting off the boat, walk along the stone path next to the beach to the end, then turn left to the mountain path stairs (there is a small artwork next to the stairs, a volcano that sprays pineapple buns) 😂. Start hiking from here, and you can see some very thoughtful works of art along the way, which are very delicate and cute. (Everyone remember to take care of them! They are the hard work of others. 😄) The sea is with you all the way, including Kau Sai Chau Golf Course, Liandao Sand Bar, Yantianzi, and the terminal, Half Moon Bay with clear water and fine sand. When you arrive at Half Moon Bay, you can sit on the white beach, enjoy the sunshine and the beach, take a good rest and fully charge your battery before returning! 🌟🌟🌟 🚢⛵️Transportation: From various districts to Sai Kung Public Pier - Take the Street Ferry - Sharp Island or Half Moon Bay Sharp Island round trip ticket: HKD $30 Half Moon Bay round trip ticket: HKD $40 🌟🌟Remember to tell the boatman if you walk to Half Moon Bay after landing on Sharp Island, because the ticket price is different. You can choose from different boat operators: Maoji, Feipo, Lanqi, Hongqi, Shengji. (Most boats run every 30 minutes, and some may have to wait for all boats to depart.) The last boat usually leaves at 18:00 or 18:30 (you can take a picture of the last boat time of the day before departure to avoid missing it.) If you miss the boat you chose and don't want to wait for the next one, you can take a boat with a different boat operator, but you need to pay the return fare of the other boat operator. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Everyone has the responsibility to protect the natural environment. Don't litter. Take your own trash away. Don't destroy nature. Don't salvage or take away marine life. Good citizens must do this😇. #weekendplace #qiaotsui island #halfmoonbay #saigonplace

Where did everyone go even during the holidays? Yesterday, as soon as we arrived in Sai Kung, it started to rain heavily, but when the tide receded in the afternoon, we impromptu went to Chau Tsui Island, Lian Island, Sha Chau, to see the stones to see the sea. A rain is also very relaxing This thunderstorm weather really feels like Thailand. Just think of yourself as going island hopping How to get there? Sai Kung Pier has a boat owner $30 round trip to Bridge Island Boat every half hour Remember to check the tide time. It is really an oasis in the bustling city, which makes people feel relaxed and happy✨ #globaltravel

Beautiful things are always hard to obtain. Beautiful places are always hard to reach. But it doesn't matter, as long as you have a strong heart and strong physical strength, there is no place you can't reach. (Of course, I personally think safety is definitely the first priority.) This unique heart-shaped pool is located between Sharp Island and Half Moon Bay. Because of its uniqueness, many people come here to explore. Some come here to check in, and some come here to experience the private swimming pool in nature.😆 (Nature-loving enthusiasts definitely belong to the latter.) It is not easy to get here. It requires sufficient physical strength. There are certain risks in marine activities. You need to take adequate safety measures to ensure safety first. How to get there: 1: Walk along the coast of Sai Kung Pier to the canoe rental shop at the end, rent a canoe, paddle to Sharp Island, and paddle from the left side of the Pineapple Rock Beach on Sharp Island (opposite to Sai Kung) to the Heart-Shaped Lake. ‼ ️It is best to be accompanied by an experienced person when canoeing. Do not go alone. Canoe rental: Single canoe (weekdays) $150 Double canoe (weekdays) $250 Single Canoe (Weekend/Holiday) $200 Double Kayak (weekend/holiday) $300 2: You can bring your own inflatable rubber boat, take a boat to Sharp Island, and then depart from Sharp Island. (We brought our own rubber boat to Sharp Island.) More equipment is required.🙈 Occasionally when I take a boat to Half Moon Bay, I see many people climbing along the rocks from Half Moon Bay to the heart-shaped pool. Fortunately, some people succeeded in reaching it. I personally don't recommend it. Some sections may require you to go into the sea. If you are not familiar with water or don't know the depth of the sea, it is very dangerous. Please think carefully before setting off and do it within your ability. 🚢🚢🚢Transportation to Sharp Island and Half Moon Bay: Take the ferry or speedboat from Sai Kung Pier to "Qiao Tsui Island" and "Half Moon Bay". There are many boat operators to choose from, and it doesn't matter which one you choose depending on the departure time. Most boats run every 30 minutes or so, and the price is around $30 to $50 (depending on where you are returning from). If you don't get on the boat you bought your ticket for, you can take another boat back to Sai Kung for an extra $20. Before boarding the boat, you can ask the boatman or take a photo of the last boat schedule to avoid missing it. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ———Safety first‼ ️ The "Heart-Shaped Pool" is not a planned tourist attraction. Please do what you can to avoid unnecessary dangers in order to check in. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ———The most important points of every trip🩵 Protecting nature is everyone's responsibility. Please keep the environment clean and take your own trash away. #Saigon #HongKongGoodPlaces #WeekendGoodPlaces #QiuTsuiIsland #HalfMoonBayHeartShapedPond #HongKongWaterSports

Hong Kong offers a wide variety of hiking trails, ranging from beginner-friendly to highly challenging. This time, we’re introducing a route from Kiu Tsui Island to Hap Mun Bay Beach. If you walk at a brisk pace, you can complete it within an hour. The scenery along the way is stunning, with views of Hong Kong’s coastline and various mountains. Personally, I find it more manageable to hike from Hap Mun Bay back to Kiu Tsui, as there are fewer stairs, making it ideal for beginners. Additionally, Hap Mun Bay has areas for picnics or barbecues, making it a great spot for hiking and outdoor enthusiasts. Transportation: Take a bus to Sai Kung Pier, then transfer to a small boat heading to Hap Mun Bay or Kiu Tsui Island.

Sai Kung's Sharp Island is very close to Sai Kung, and only takes about 10 minutes by boat, which is very convenient. Everyone can come to Sharp Island with different purposes, such as seeing the pineapple rock baptized by nature, the hidden road, watching the sea, watching the sunset, snorkeling🤿, or even schools bring students to explain the origin of pineapple rock. (I will introduce his other special features one by one later). This time I will mainly talk about the sunset at Sharp Island.🌅 Although this island is very close to the center of Sai Kung, the beach is not particularly large and there are many rocks, but the selling point of this island is the rocks 🪨, and the most important thing that is worth visiting is its sunset. I am lucky every time. The weather is good many times. Occasionally, I will see an old man on the island who often writes beautiful words and exquisite sand sculptures. Tourists who see it are reluctant to destroy it, so it is preserved on the island as one of the characteristics. In order to watch the sunset, I waited until the afternoon when other activities were completed before taking the boat. Sitting on the boat, feeling the sea breeze and watching the sunset, you can often see the "Jesus light" radiating from the sun😆. It's perfect, really perfect.🧡 Transportation: 🚢⛵️ From various districts to Sai Kung Public Pier 🌟🌟🌟Take the ferry from Sai Kung Public Pier to Sharp Island. There are several different boat companies at the pier, including Fatty, Cat's, Blue Flag, Red Flag, and Sheng's. There is a boat every 30 minutes. 🎫Ticket price: Sai Kung Pier - Sharp Island HKD $30 round trip (If you miss a boat or wait too long, you can also take a different boat. Just pay an additional $20 for the return ticket to the other boat operator.) There are many boats to nearby islands at Sai Kung Public Pier. You can choose where to get off and where to return. The price is slightly different. You can ask the boat staff. There are convenience stores, bathrooms and toilets on Sharp Island, so you can go there after playing in the water. But you may have to queue when there are many people, and the toilets are not so clean. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Also remember the last boat, which is usually at 18:00 or 18:30 (you can take a photo of the last boat schedule of the day before departure.) There are really not many people on weekdays. The water on the island is clear and there are few people. It is very comfortable. I usually choose to go back on the boat at 5:30pm or 6pm, because that way I can see my favorite sunset😇😇 #Sai Kung Places to Go #Sharp Island #Weekend Places to Go

Sharp Island is a stunning place in Hong Kong to watch the sunset. During high tide, the island and the pier become two separate small islands. During low tide, a stone path emerges, connecting the two sides. Therefore, the best time to walk is when the tide is slightly rising, and you should leave quickly during low tide. It is recommended to pay attention to the tide times when visiting Sharp Island.

#spring2024 Most Hong Kong people are familiar with Sharp Island because the islands and sandbanks there are very attractive during the epidemic. However, fewer people go to Half Moon Bay, and the line is suspended in winter. It costs NT$30 to take a boat from Sai Kung to Sharp Island and NT$40 to take a boat to Half Moon Bay. You can also hike from Qiaozui to Half Moon Bay, which takes about an hour and is not difficult. Most boats in Half Moon Bay board at 9:30 am every hour, so you should arrive at the dock early to wait. It is very sunny in summer without any shade. The small slope leading to Houtan is full of floating sand and gravel, so you need to be very careful. The rocks on the shore are less visited than those on the west side of the bridge mouth, so they are more unstable and you need to be more careful. Houtan is not suitable for swimming alone. If you don’t wear a snorkel, you will easily be cut by the rocks and corals on the bottom of the water, and it will also damage the corals.
