Escape the Crowds: Hong Kong's Hidden Gem - Ninepin Islands

Destination: Hong Kong · Ninepin Islands ————— 🚤Transportation: No public transport reaches the islands. Here are three ways to get there: Option 1️⃣: Take the direct red minibus (marked "Sai Kung" on the front, easy to spot, HK$20 one-way) from various Hong Kong districts to Mong Kok's Carrefour, then charter a boat from Sai Kung Pier (about 30 minutes, arrange group sharing in advance, ~HK$300/person, max 17 people/boat). Option 2️⃣: Cross at Futian Port, take East Rail Line to Sha Tin Station. Exit A, walk through mall towards Maxim's direction to atrium, find bus platform signs on right. Take escalator down, turn around to find 299X bus to Sai Kung Pier Terminal (~1 hour ride). The pier is opposite the bus stop. Option 3️⃣: Join a day tour (~HK$500+/person), search for local Hong Kong tour groups online. ————— 🏝️ Outdoor activities: Fishing🎣, snorkeling, island hiking, 🚣‍♀️kayaking through sea caves! ————— 📷Photo spots: ✅ National Geographic cover-worthy cliffs ✅ Cannon Rock ✅ Moon Crater Cliff ✅ No. 200 Lighthouse · Eastern Beacon The islands are breathtakingly beautiful - every shot looks amazing straight out of camera, no filters needed!!!! I couldn't believe I was still in Hong Kong when I landed! 🔥Pro tip: After disembarking, explore the peninsula with the lighthouse first before climbing to the other peninsula. ————— ⚠️Important notes: - Ninepin Islands are uninhabited with no facilities/stores. Bring water, sunscreen and food. - Requires climbing over loose rocks with no safety measures. Be extremely careful, avoid going alone. (Not recommended for those with poor fitness or fear of heights) - Spotty phone signal. Book boats in advance.
