[2025 Hong Kong Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for STK Farm (Updated Apr)

📍Address: Sha Tau Kok, North District, New Territories 🏖️Environment/Facilities: Quiet and beautiful environment 💰Average Cost: Free 💞Recommended Reason: Quite unique In fact, areas such as Wu Kau Tang, Kuk Po, So Lo Pun, Lai Chi Wo, and the islands around Yan Chau Tong, with Kat O being the most prominent, are all part of Sha Tau Kok. The part within Hong Kong has been developed into a small town and is currently still a restricted border area. However, you can freely visit Sha Tau Kok, which has the longest pier in Hong Kong, by applying for a restricted area permit online in advance. Currently, it can only be reached by public transportation. The unique Housing Society public housing, well-equipped community facilities, friendly and enthusiastic villagers, and old Cantonese-style verandah houses give a sense of time travel. The mysterious restricted area is definitely worth visiting to experience and taste local snacks. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, the visit might feel a bit rushed.

After the last expedition to Lu Neck in the northeast, I finally have the opportunity to go deep into the most difficult place in Hong Kong😎, it is the last two years of finally lifting the ban in Sha Tau Kok😚, today let me unveil the mystery of Sha Tau Kok for you🤗 So what's so special about Sha Tau Kok😚? Corner of Sha Tau Kok A must-visit signature photo spot in Sha Tau Kok📸, there is also a stone tablet on the ground floor that says "Sunrise Sha Tau Moon Suspension Cape", which is the origin of the name of Sha Tau Kok 😯, it is said that a minister of the Qing Dynasty saw the beautiful scenery of Sha Tau Kok sunrise 🌄 and wrote, really full of poetry and painting 😃😌, and the nearby high-rise building is a close-up view of Shenzhen The longest pier in Hong Kong⛴️ Another selling point of Sha Tau Kok is the longest pier in Hong Kong😚, the pier is 280 meters long. Since the water level of the sea in Sha Tau Kok is relatively shallow, we had to extend the pier to facilitate large ships The largest public housing estate in Hong Kong 🏘️ Another of the best in Hong Kong is Sha Tau Kok Estate😃, not to mention, it turns out that Sha Tau Kok Estate is the largest public housing estate in Hong Kong 🏘️, with a total of 51 blocks in four phases, more than Pacific City and Mongkok New Estate Many 😯, and Sha Tau Kok Estate adopts European architectural style, the exterior walls of each building are painted with different colors 🌈, full of vitality 🥰, plus Sha Tau Kok Estate is built by the sea, so many units have sea views 🌊, open view 👍. There are also many shops 🛍️ near the estate, like a small community of its own, where residents have everything they need for daily life, so it is quite convenient 😉 Homemade market🛍️ Near Sha Tau Kok Pier ⚓, there will be a specialty market 🛍️ by the villagers of Sha Tau Kok at specific times, there are more than ten stalls, mainly selling Sha Tau Kok specialties, and I especially recommend their fried rice cakes 🍪, because they are really delicious and crispy 🤤, since it is so rare to come to Sha Tau Kok, you might as well buy some back as souvenirs 😁 Tips: Currently, only a small part of Sha Tau Kok is open to the public😣, and friends who want to go to Sha Tau Kok can only participate in local tours organized by travel agencies designated by the Tourism Industry Council🤔 Want to know more good places to visit in Hong Kong?

This is our first visit here after the Sha Tau Kok restricted area was opened. Shenzhen and Hong Kong are not only separated by a river, but also by a street, which feels very interesting. In addition to arriving by bus or minibus from land (Fanling or Sheung Shui), Hong Kong citizens can also come by boat. Those who are interested in visiting should remember to apply for a restricted area permit in advance before entering. The Chung Ying Street checkpoint building was also recently opened, replacing manual inspections. Local residents told us that those who are able to enter Hong Kong from Shenzhen through the Chung Ying Street Checkpoint Building are all Hong Kong people.

If you want to visit Sha Tau Kok, you must make an appointment three days in advance, otherwise it is likely that your trip will be in vain. You can take a 55k minibus to get here. There are also other means of transportation, but the waiting time may be a little longer. There is a beautiful coastline and skyline here, and the buildings are painted in bright colors, which makes people feel happy. But this place is very small and can be visited in almost half a day, so you can also go to the nearby country park.

During my recent trip to Sha Tau Kok Pier, I had the incredible opportunity to experience the mesmerizing art installation "Interwoven Horizon" by the multi-disciplinary artist En Iwamura from Japan. This captivating creation beautifully intertwines the elements of the sea, mountains, geology, islands, sun, and moon, creating a harmonious fusion of art and nature. As the installation leisurely floats in the sea near the pier, it serves as a visual symphony against the backdrop of the breathtaking natural landscape. En Iwamura's work is a testament to his deep connection with nature, drawing inspiration from the surroundings to highlight the intricate details of the landscape and geological formations near Sha Tau Kok. The interplay of natural colors in his art adds a touch of magic to the already stunning scenery. Exploring "Interwoven Horizon" was a truly immersive experience that allowed me to appreciate the beauty of the environment in a new light, merging artistic expression with the wonders of nature. It was a journey that left me in awe of the intricate ties that bind the elements together in perfect harmony.

Sha Tau Kok is open to tourists for free travel but it is still a restricted area and a restricted area permit is required to enter. There are many tutorials on application methods on platforms such as YouTube. Before departure, I watched a lot of youtube videos and listed the following attractions: colorful public housing (a must-see), including the orange and white public housing called the Salmon House, Sun and Moon Pavilion, the replica of Sha Tau Kok Railway Station, Chung Ying Street (non-residents can only view from a distance), Tin Hau Temple, and the longest pier in Hong Kong (you can take a boat to Ap Chau, Kat O and Lai Chi Wo). As for food, there is a cooked food center in the market and there are also tea restaurants nearby. There is also a bakery that is famous for its wife cakes and triangular chocolate cakes. If you are interested, you can go and try them. #Hong Kong Good Places #Family Good Places

#100 Ways to Travel Hong Kong Travel ~ "Deep Memories Hidden in the Forbidden Zone" "Sha Tau Kok": It is a place located on the border of the North District of the New Territories of Hong Kong and the Yantian District of Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province. It straddles the two places. It used to be a densely populated village. When the New Territories were officially leased to Britain in 1898, the Sha Tau Kok River was used as the boundary, and the middle section of the river became the Chung Ying Street. Chung Ying Street is still a governed area today! 🌬️History: Sha Tau Kok has always been one of the important fishing villages in Hong Kong. The local residents are mainly Hakka people who are fishermen and Hoklo people (descendants of Fujian immigrants). Although they later moved to live on the shore, they still retain many traditional customs of water people. One theory is that the reason why it was named "Sha Tau Kok" is that during the Qing Dynasty, an official visited Sha Tau Kok and saw the sun rising from Sha Tsui and the moon hanging over the cape, so he wrote a poem: "The sun rises over Sha Tau, the moon hangs over the cape". Hence the name "Sha Tau Kok". This poem was also engraved on the stone of the pier and has become one of the important landscapes of Sha Tau Kok. During the Anti-Japanese War, there was a family in Sha Tau Kok named "Luo". The whole family mobilized to fight together, which established the Luo family's indelible position in Sha Tau Kok! ! 🕰️Business hours: 7:00-19:00 📍Address: There is no navigation available after entering the village! ! 💰Per capita consumption: Basically, it is a place to slow down and experience the fishing village style. There is no charge for entering the village (but you need to apply for a restricted area order) 🗓️Itinerary: "Sha Tau Kok Corner", "Sha Tau Kok Pier", "Sun and Moon Pavilion", "Fish Lantern Square", "Sha Tau Kok Old Fire Station", "Chung Ying Street Garden", "Sha Tau Kok Seafood Street", "Shun Ping Mural Street", "Sha Tau Fish House", "Sha Tau Kok Mirror in Mirror" ～The above attractions can be arranged at your own will, they are not far away～ 🍜Must-try food: fried oil rice cake, braised pork with black bean sauce, pan-fried oyster pancake noodles, corned beef fried egg pineapple bun and bottled milk tea 💞Recommendation reason: Here you can experience the simple and isolated lifestyle in Hong Kong, where every inch of land is valuable. You can also witness and understand the heavy historical significance here! ⚠️: Things to note 1.

Transportation Tips - Take 78k from Sheung Shui Bus Terminal directly to Sha Tau Kok Terminal Local attraction - Sha Tau Kok Note⚠️: To enter Sha Tau Kok, you need to apply for a restricted area permit online. Hong Kong residents can find the application form by searching in Smart Convenience. The place is not big but the scenery is beautiful. Sitting on the uninhabited seaside promenade and blowing the sea breeze is also a great pleasure. Because there are few people, it is very quiet. The seaside in the tourist area is two kinds of experience

Just started the new year and want some new experiences. I recently went to Autocamper Red Flower Ridge for camping, and chose the Ogawa Type52R Japanese style small mountain house🍁. Autocamper uses the famous Japanese tent brand Ogawa Ogawa tent, Japanese grid window design is very fashionable, creating a feeling of a mountain cabin 🏕️. It is fully equipped with camping lights, mattresses, duvets, camping tables and chairs, cooking stoves, cooking utensils, condiments, cutlery, water glasses, kettles, refrigerators, garbage bags, power and lighters. There is no need to bring any camping gear except for your own food and personal hygiene items. The campsite has bathroom facilities, hot and cold water supply💧, the facilities are quite clean. Very convenient and relaxing camping option⛺️. Those who want to BBQ at the camp can also book a barbecue package in advance. First time camping, I really like the sense of leisure, from the sun shining to watching the sun slowly setting 🌅, to the night camp lights on 🌌, every time there is a different atmosphere. I don't know why I think I have to cook noodles to have the atmosphere when camping 🤣, blowing the breeze of nature, eating hot noodles 🍜, it's really good 😆! Because it is near the suburbs, the temperature difference between day and night is a bit large, and the temperature drops even more after sunset, so you really need to bring enough clothes. Autocamper also offers a variety of camping tent options, and even campers, rooftop camps, and car camps. If you are interested, go and inquire ~🔍 ——————————————————————————— 📍Autocamper Red Flower Ridge Location: Autocamper Hong Fa Leng (King Shing Farm), 39, Shek Chung Au Section, Sha Tau Kok Highway, Sha Tau Kok, Hong Kong ——————————————————————————— Welcome to follow + like 🌸 @yuen_yin68 #autocamper #honghualing #glampinghongkong #glampinghk #hkcamping #camping #sha Tau Kok #photo #photo attractions #holiday destinations #hong kholiday #hong kholiday #hongkongattractions #Register a cruise tester #Register a hotel sleeper
