#timetotravel Shek-o was recommended to us by a a few photographers friends so from our hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui we rented an entire van with our pre nup crew to take us to this stunning little village in Honkong. Instead on going to Shek-O beach we came to this rocky part and our photographer really enjoyed taking some snaps here. The calm water and the rock formations just make the entire vibe of this place very atmospheric. If you are looking for a place to take wedding photos in Hongkong then this place is highly recommended. Just look at our photos, I mean the seaview is just stunning isn't it? Travel time is about 45 minutes from Tsim Sha Tsui. Enjoy your shot wether you are a photographer or a couple. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #hongkong #photography

I haven't been to Shek O Beach for many years, and a friend suggested that I take the children there. Of course children have more fun when they have companionship. The transportation is a bit far, you need to take the MTR to Shau Kei Wan first, and then transfer to the bus to the terminal. The beach is really large, and there are several restaurants and convenience stores nearby, which is very convenient. The children had a lot of fun. It is a great place for parents and children to go on a weekend. It is better to take them out to experience nature than to stay at home playing games! #Beach #Good place for families

Among the mountains in Hong Kong, Dragon's Back is an easy hike with beautiful views. There are many check-in spots along the way. During the approximately 5-kilometer journey, you can enjoy the beautiful views of Shek O Beach, Big Wave Bay and Red Hill Peninsula. I went there on a Thursday, a free day, and saw many hiking friends checking in, so I don't recommend you go there on holidays. #localtourism #hikingroute #hikingcheckin #hikingplaces #hongkong #outdoorspots #dragonsback

Shek O is famous for its exotic and colorful houses. The Blue Bridge is also one of the famous landmarks. But a typhoon a few years ago destroyed this beautiful bridge. After a period of repair, the bridge reappeared. The Blue Bridge is also known as the Lover's Bridge because the width of the bridge is just right for couples to walk side by side 👫🏻 So this is also a good place for many Hong Kong people to take wedding photos. And in good weather, no matter how you take photos, they will be beautiful! #Good Places to Go in the Countryside #Local Tours #Unbeatable Sea View

Last summer, my friends and I went hiking in Longji Mountain. This place was once selected as one of the "Best Hiking Routes in Hong Kong" by the travel guide "Lonely Planet" and is also one of the "Five Beginner Hiking Routes in Hong Kong Island" recommended by the CNN Travel website. However, compared to the hiking trail introduced last time, it takes longer, about 4 hours round trip. Although Longji Mountain has different scenic spots to visit, it is very convenient and attracts many tourists on weekends. Basically, you have to queue up to visit different check-in spots, such as the viewing point on Shek O Peninsula and Dragon's Back. Big Wave Bay was even more crowded. For transportation, you can take a red minibus from Shau Kei Wan to Shek O, near Exit A3. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to get on the bus. As an entry-level hiking trail, Longji Mountain does have fewer rugged mountain roads and mountain streams, but there are fewer sights to see in the woods along the way, so it is relatively boring. #Hiking #HongKongGoodPlaces

Shek O Beach is one of the most beautiful and popular beaches in Hong Kong. The beach is full of good public facilities such as changing rooms, showers, public toilets, BBQ grills and tables, a life guard station, and shark nets. Shek O Beach has one of the biggest public barbecue sites with 40 pits! There are plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants near the beach. There is also a small golf course and a paraglide lift. Shek O Beach can be crowded on weekends so it’s better to go there on the week days. The beach is located in the southern part of Hong Kong Island and the best way to get there is to take the MTR to Shau Kei Wan station. At Exit A2, take the red minibus marked Shek O from the adjacent tunnel and get off at Shek O Beach. #hongkongscenes #beaches #hongkong #bestislandtraveltowns#awesomepic#beaches

I have always loved walking to the beach, listening to the sound of the waves and feeling the gentle breeze. This time we came to Shek Ao. Transportation in Shek O is very convenient. At the bus terminus outside Exit A3 of Shau Kei Wan Station, just take bus No. 9 and get off at Shek O. There is a beach in Shek O, which is crowded with people during holidays. Most of the customers in the shops on the street come from the beach and wear swimsuits, which makes them feel like they are on vacation. However, I prefer the quieter stone beach to the busy beach. Walking towards Shek O Village, you will pass some colorful houses, which feel like a fairy tale. But it’s someone else’s home, so it’s not easy for me to take pictures. Then you will walk to Lover's Bridge. The sky blue bridge is a very pleasing color, and everyone likes to take photos there. Next to Lover's Bridge are Da Tau Chau and Shitan. The rocky beach is made up of large and small rocks. It is not a flat road and it is a bit difficult to get down. Everyone should do what they can. I walked down slowly. Happiness can be simple. On a sunny summer day, under a clear sky and with the endless sea, I am filled with joy. You might as well come here during the holidays to return to the embrace of nature and relax your body and mind. #石AO #爱情bridge #石tan #localtour #travelinspiration #TravelInspiration#LocalTravel#Seaside Photography Guide

Shek O is a popular area in southeast Hong Kong, with its blue sky and sea, white beach and unique hamlets. It was also the shooting location of The King of Comedy. It is not so hot here the morning, so you can walk left towards the island and take some photographs against the colored cottages. Here is my outfit recommendation: Single-colored skirt + sandals + straw hat + sunglasses. You can also get some quick meals around Shek O.

Shek O Beach, which has not changed much over the years, is more suitable for family leisure and strolling during the epidemic. At the end of the village, you can see another small island, which is connected by a blue bridge built in recent years. You can easily walk up the hill, sit and look at the blue sky and white clouds from afar, look at the waves on the shore up close, and take a breath of fresh air. You can really forget all your worries. In addition, I saw many people coming here to take wedding photos. It just shows how good the environment is. #Local Tour

Every place has its own unique memory. Most people who come to Shek O may be for the "King of Comedy", and this time, I am more looking for a scene called "The Broad Sky" to commemorate Huang Jiaxuan. ! I didn't expect a most classic MV, I created it here, but I didn't expect that one of the most classic songs became a swan song! Going to the end, except for the coastline, it seems to be a broken road, the fence is closed, and asked the uncle next to it, the Cantonese version of Mandarin, the general meaning is to let us turn over! At first doubt, but in order not to regret, in the case of trying the other two directions to determine that there is no other way, simply do it, turn over, and sure enough, there are still many people, picking up seafood, making wedding dresses, photography . Later, I learned from a student who was playing photography. It was also because of the "mangosteen" that destroyed the legendary blue lover bridge. (Tucao is a place that has not been repaired for a year) After taking a video, sitting on the reef where the family sat, watching the blue sky and blue sky in the distance, listening to the sound of the waves hitting the rocks, in my mind It's all look in the MV! The reef in the MV has hardly changed. The top of the head is the pavilion that opened, and the eagle that occasionally hovered in the air restored the scene! "The sky is wide and the sky can change." Every picture has a deep memory. "Forgive me for indulging my love for freedom in my life." It is more artistic to return to the shooting than to watch the MV! After 26 years, Shi Ao is still so beautiful, can't help but sigh, the years have changed, things are not! Clean up your mood, live up to this beauty, love life and everything around you, is the best interpretation of the lyrics. After all, living is wonderful! In the case of good weather, any place in Shi'ao is a scene that is easy to produce! What do you think? In this way, we took pictures, blown the sea breeze, and the Hong Kong classmates next to it blew the cows and passed the hottest afternoon.

I missed the health center and can no longer miss this colorful alley. There are basically no trees in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong. It is impossible to eat under the scorching sun. We simply walk along the path and pass under the eaves of the villagers, but we have harvested this unexpected color! Everyone here has painted different colors for their houses, or purple or orange, or green or pink, colorful and very eye-catching. If you put it together, its a rainbow! And you look closely, each mailbox is a variety of shapes, full of cute little fresh! And people in this period of time are working on the beach, and it makes it extremely quiet, no one is disturbing, find the background, and pat the random concave shape! Super petty super beautiful! If you want to ask me how to go, then two words: free! Because the village is not big, no matter how you go, you can finally walk to Shiao Village Road, stand on the uphill road, or find a car parked on the side of the road, you can take a Hong Kong-style street scene! The road here is not wide, and the ground is reminded by the slow drive that can be seen everywhere. Slow down and enjoy the scenery along the way. Sometimes, it is also a realm! The atmosphere of art, the quiet little fishing village, the photos taken every place here are so small and fresh! It's no wonder that compared with the bustling city, the slow-paced life is more like a paradise!

Hong Kong is not to be missed. Shek O beautiful scenery of Shek O is a fishing village in the southeast of Hong Kong. In recent years, it has become another must-see for Hong Kong. I divided Shi'ao into three places: Shi'ao Residential Area, Shek O Luxury Quarter and Shek O Beach. The Shi'ao residential area is the most popular place for tourists. The houses and streets are colorful and clean, and the taste of Hong Kong is full. It is a must-see for young artists. The Shi Ao Mansion is a separate building with heavily guarded, high-walled iron gates, but you can take a look at their luxury cars. Shek O Beach is my favorite place in Shek O. It can be used to embrace fine sand, sea and blue sky. If you can, I really want to stay here for a whole day. Transportation: MTR Tsuen Wan Station A3 Exit Bus Terminus Take Bus No. 9 to Shek O Terminus (HK6.9)
