Tai Long Wan, China

From series “The Hidden and Hard-To-Reach Beautiful Beaches”

In China, there is also a beautiful beach, the way to becoming an unforgettable adventure. It is the beach Tai Long Wan. The fact that one of the most man-made beaches in the world is in Hong Kong seems just unbelievable. The beach is located in the bay of the same name, which remains empty even in the high season during the weekend. The distance from the bustling districts of Hong Kong is not the only reason why the beach is weakly visited all year round.

This coastal stretch is characterized by the rather strong undercurrents, and the great waves here almost never cease. The bay is popular among the surfers and the followers of the quiet rest. Although the beach is just 30 km from Hong Kong's bustling districts, the way to Tai Long Wan is not easy. The beach is located on the Sai Kung peninsula, on most of whose territory is the nature reserve with the impenetrable jungle.

There are no trails in the nature reserve, so you can only walk to the coast. The trail through the nature reserve takes at least an hour and a half. On the way, tourists can not only see the unique sights of natural origin, but also the deserted villages. Most holidaymakers prefer the easiest way and go along the coast with the cutter. The experienced tourists also know the beautiful waterfall, which is located next to the beach and is part of the current of the river Scheung Luk. The waterfall forms the magnificent natural pool in which one can also swim. To beginning

Top destination around Tai Long Wan - Hong Kong City

Hong Kong attracts connoisseurs of sacral architecture – there is definitely something to see here. Some of the attractions includes the Po Lin monastery, famous for the statue of the Great Buddha; the “tourist” Monastery of Ten thousand Buddhas, an atmospheric and unforgettable temple whose construction dates back to 1957; the temple of Wong Tai Sin, which according to legend, if a wish is made here, it will come true . By the way, three religions are united in the temple – Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, due to which it is considered a unique architectural monument. The most ancient temple of Hong Kong, Man Mo, was erected in 1847. It can however be easily missed due to the presence of tall buildings nearby, but it is not worth doing intentionally.

In the hometown of Jackie Chan, it will also be nice to take a stroll through the historic and modern areas. So, Tsim Sha Tsui East business center will be liked by those who fancy walking around busy streets with many restaurants, cafes and shops. Tai O is considered a colorful part of the city; it is here that you can see the original buildings and streets, and discover an entirely different side to Hong Kong – not the one that can usually be seen in the pictures. Another unique place is the fishing village of Aberdeen, where you will feel extraordinary pacification.
