Depart from Shenzhen, take a 14.8 HKD ferry to the island to chase the sunset

Going to Hong Kong, Cheung Chau Island is worth spending a whole day leisurely exploring. The ferry costs 14.8 HKD 🇭🇰 for a direct ride, offering sea views and cultural experiences. The attractions are concentrated, perfect for a relaxed and easy stroll~ 🚇 Transportation Depart from Shenzhen North, take the high-speed train to Hong Kong, then after crossing the border, take the MTR to Central Station, exit at F, and walk to Pier 5. ⛴️ Fast ferry runs every 30 minutes, ticket price 25 HKD (enclosed cabin, prone to seasickness); ⛴ Slow ferry runs every 50 minutes, standard cabin 14.8 HKD, premium cabin 23 HKD (highly recommend buying the premium cabin! You can go outside to enjoy the sea breeze, less likely to get seasick). Total time: 2 hours; depart by high-speed train around 9 AM, arrive at Cheung Chau Pier around 11 AM. ⚠️ Remember to bring cash or an Octopus card, as only these two are accepted on the ferry! 🌊 CityWalk route recommendation Cheung Chau Pier → Tung Wan Road → Tung Wan Beach → North Lookout Pavilion (The North Lookout Pavilion requires climbing a small slope, about 30 minutes, the incline is gentle and not tiring) (This spot is the most beautiful, with both mountains and sea, but you can’t see the sunset from here; you need to go halfway up the mountain to see it) 💡 Tips ✅ Be sure to bring cash! Most ferries and small shops on the island only accept cash~ ✅ Remember to apply sunscreen ✅ You can see the sunset 🌅 anywhere along the seaside near the island pier

Cheung Chau Ferry Pier

Cheung Chau, Hong Kong, has always been the king of choice for locals to relax on weekends! From Central, take the ferry and jump away from the rhythm of the city to a small island with unbeatable sea views, village houses, and human touch. This time I share a half-day trip to Cheung Chau, suitable for sunny days out - hiking and seeing the sea + leisurely eating snacks, is definitely the perfect combination to Chill and enjoy the leisure time! 🌊List of Trip Highlights: - Enjoy the view of Victoria Harbor by ferry and enter the slow pace of Cheung Chau Island - Explore the cuisine around the pier, the super-sized fishballs must try - Walk along the coastal hiking trail to enjoy the sea breeze and watch the sunset - Take a random picture of the blue sky sea view, the city worries are all thrown away! 📍Attraction Recommendation: 1. Cheung Chau Ferry Terminal Location: Cheung Chau, Hong Kong From Central Pier, the boat ride is about 1 hour, the boat has a strong sea breeze, you can feel the sea view of Victoria Harbor + South China Sea. After getting off the boat, there are many souvenir shops next to the pier. Big fish balls, coconut milk cool and sweet drinks, shark fin soup, mango glutinous rice dumplings, etc. are popular choices for tourists. Recommendation: The big fishball shop across the pier, a portion of 2 super giant size, Q bomb enough flavor, must eat! 2. Humanity + natural scenery around Cheung Chau Island From the pier, you can see old-style fishing village huts and colorful murals everywhere along the loop around the island. You can explore the most popular "Northern Emperor Temple" or "Cheung Po Tsai Cave", and then walk along the seaside hiking trail. It is recommended to start from East Bay Beach to the observation deck, walk slowly, take pictures while, 1–2 hours easily done. Several times on the way you can see clear water intertwined with distant buildings, perfect for taking pictures! ⛰️ Personal test tips: - Choose a sunny day out, the sky in Cheung Chau is beautifully blue, and the sea view is particularly healing - The hiking trail is mainly by the sea, some roads are more sunny, it is best to bring a hat and sunscreen - Breathable sneakers are recommended for easy uphill and downhill journeys - Some snack bars serve different hours in the morning and afternoon 🍴Food Recommendations: - Big Fish Balls opposite Cheung Chau Ferry Terminal (neighbors strongly recommend!) - Island handmade mango glutinous rice dumplings, coconut milk drinks 🚢Transportation Guide: - To Cheung Chau, you can take a ferry (ordinary/express ferry) at Central Pier, the journey is about 1 hour, and the frequency is more frequent on holidays - You can also choose a fast boat to and from the city, which saves time and is comfortable ✅ Island Ecosystem Tips: - Although Cheung Chau is small, it is crowded on weekends/holidays, so it is recommended to avoid the daytime peak - Some seats near the pier overlook the sea, suitable for slow chill eating - Some sections of the hike are uncovered, remember to refill! When you go to Cheung Chau, you have to take your time. When you are tired from walking, sit down and eat fishballs, blow the sea breeze and look at the distant view. It is definitely the best healing trip for urbanites! If you are planning to relax on the weekend, you might as well choose a good weather to go and experience a day of "slow life" Cheung Chau! #CheungChauDayTrip #HongKongIslandTrip #WharfFood #Hiking andSeaSea #LocalChillLife #CheungChau
