One-day tour to the secluded islands - Kat O

Transportation arrangements: Take the ferry from Ma Liu Shui Pier, turn left from Exit B of University Railway Station, go straight along the slope of Chak Cheung Street, pass the disabled toilet, and then go forward through the flyover and tunnel to reach Ma Liu Shui Pier. Introduction: The area of ​​Kat O is not large. The entire island is only about 2.36 square kilometers, which is similar to the area of ​​Cheung Chau. However, the developed area only accounts for about one-fourth of the island. Currently, there are only about fifty people living on the island. It is sparsely populated and has no tourist atmosphere. It still retains the most traditional flavor of a small fishing village and is not at all commercialized like Cheung Chau or Lamma Island. There is no other reason, this place seems to be isolated from the world, even the residents on the island are unwilling to live there. It is said that the 1960s was the heyday of Ji'ao, when there were more than 10,000 people living on the island. Later, due to the lack of commercial activities, the younger generation moved out of the city, and the number of people in Ji'ao became less and less. In 2005, even the last school was closed. When I arrived at Ji'ao, I didn't feel that it was a tourist spot at all. It was just a small fishing village with few people. When I went there, I almost "packed the island" in the morning. It felt like time was frozen in a certain time and space. When all the boats continued to head towards Ap Chau, only my friend, I and a few anglers got off the boat at Kat O. There were not many outsiders, and walking around Kat O was like "leaving the island to ourselves". Perhaps because most of the residents on the island are elderly and there are not many shops, there are hardly any people walking around the villages in Jiao'ao, and many of the village houses are abandoned. Unlike the villages you usually encounter during hiking, which always have a certain degree of "popularity", this place has a more secluded feel and is very comfortable to walk in. Unless you are a good climber and are determined to challenge Jigong Ridge and Huanghuang Mountain on the island, there are not many developed places on the island with concrete roads. To get to Jigong Ridge and Huanghuang Mountain, you need to follow the ribbon and find your own way in the grass. Unless you get off the boat at 10:30 and "reach the summit" immediately, it is impossible to make it in time for the return boat at 15:30. Therefore, it is better to take a leisurely walk in the developed areas and challenge more remote areas! #Good Places to Go in the Suburbs #Overseas Travel #Go in December #Go in Spring #Winter Travel #Scenic Spot Photography Guide
