Sorry about the late post, but as I've said before, accessing the blog has become difficult. A couple days ago, Vi and I went to Hong Kong with plans to visit Tan Long Wan beach, on Sai Kung peninsula. I've seen pictures of it online and it's beautiful but the main reason is because it's harder to get to so there's less people. Anyways, after crossing the border, riding the metro train and 2 buses later, we were at the trailhead. We started walking, enjoying the beautiful views until we came across a lady who looked exhausted and was desperate to know where she could meet the bus. We asked her how far the beach was and she said almost 2 hours away!!
Needless to say, we weren't happy. We ended up hiking up a mountain on the second hottest day in Hong Kong of the year...awesome. I did enjoy finally getting outside and seeing some greenery. After hiking through some little villages, we finally came around a corner and were amazed to see a white sand beach sitting in front of us.
We were exhausted and covered in sweat so we sat in the shade for over an hour and relaxed, enjoyed the view. We were too exhausted to hike to the bus so we just paid for a little speedboat to take us back to the first pier. It was about a 40 minute ride over choppy waters but we got to see amazing islands and expensive yachts.
We will definitely be going back there soon. You can rent a tent for just under $15 per night. It's a beautiful, beautiful beach surrounded by mountains. Incredible.
