Places
Hong Kong’s remote coves and islands are true gems!
I remind you that I already made an online Google map with all the beaches of Hong Kong. www.hong-kong.su/beach
I have written about each of the 42 main beaches in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong includes more than 260 islands.
Today I wrote about the semi-wild, inaccessible islands of Hong Kong, many of which were opened to tourists only in the 1990s.
Also one of main business – yacht tours in Hong Kong

Except starting yacht tour from TsimShaTsui, you can rent a speedboat for 10 people. The starting point is Sai Kung New Public Pier. It’s not that far from the center by Uber.
But where to go and why? So, this article is a source of inspiration for you to explore Hong Kong!
This is probably the best of my 1000+ articles from 2017.
You’re gonna getting high!
Lots of photos and letters, longrid!
Let’s get started!
I marked all these places by creating a new Google map with points of interest:
