[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Po Pin Chau (Updated Mar)

Hiking in Hong Kong on the MacLehose Trail, where you can see the sea. As one of Hong Kong's most magical natural wonders, Po Pin Chau is famous for its unique sea erosion landforms, blue sea and sky, and breathtaking cliff views. For me, this trip was not only an intimate encounter with nature, but also a moment of inner peace. My route Take the East Rail Line from Prince Edward Station to Kowloon Tong Station, then transfer to University Station, which takes about 30 minutes. After getting off at University Station, take a green taxi (red taxis are more expensive) to High Island Reservoir, which takes about 30-40 minutes and costs HKD 200. We carpooled with four people, which is more cost-effective! 🌟Tips 1. Bring enough water and snacks, as the mountain road is exhausting! 2. Wear a sun hat and sunglasses, as the sun is strong by the sea. 3. Be sure to wear non-slip shoes, safety first!

Po Pin Chau is located in Leung Shuen Wan, southeast of Sai Kung. It is famous for its hexagonal rock pillars. It is part of the Hong Kong UNESCO World Geopark and one of the most popular natural attractions in Hong Kong. Po Pin Chau was formed due to a violent volcanic eruption at the High Island Reservoir 140 million years ago. A large amount of hot lava condensed and contracted under special environmental conditions, forming the hexagonal rock pillars we see today. The rock structure and geological composition of Po Bin Chau are different from the hexagonal rock pillars in other parts of the world. In addition, its wide distribution area and large scale make it a world-class geological wonder. There are many routes to visit Po Pin Chau. It is recommended to climb the concrete stairs next to the Dongba minibus station. You can also take photos with the landmark columns of Po Pin Chau along the way. The scenery is open and pleasant, and it is relatively safe and easy. #Natural Landscapes #100 Ways to Travel

📍Address: Po Pin Chau, Hong Kong Po Pin Chau is located in the eastern suburbs of Hong Kong. The volcanic eruption hundreds of millions of years ago created the unique landscape of hexagonal stone pillars, and the uneven stone edges have since spread all over the coast. 🔥🔥🔥 Pobin Island was originally a cape with rocks extending into the ocean, but the erosion of the waves split it from the mainland like a giant axe, and the volcanic rock pillars penetrated straight into the seabed at a nearly vertical angle. Standing on the top of the mountain, facing the high cliffs and the surging waves, it is an overwhelming feeling that is difficult to describe in words. 🗓️Itinerary: Take KMB No. 94 from Sai Kung Pier to Pak Tam Chung (there are KMB special routes directly from Diamond Hill/Chung Hung/Shatin/Tsuen Wan/Tai Po on Saturdays, Sundays and Hong Kong holidays), and transfer to green minibus 9A to High Island Reservoir East Dam. 🥰 ! Please note that minibus 9A only operates on Saturdays, Sundays and Hong Kong holidays. On weekdays, you can only take a taxi from Sai Kung Pier/Pak Tam Chung and other places. Hiking route: East Dam of High Island Reservoir (reservoir, East Dam, hexagonal columns, anchor stone embankment) - Huashan Viewpoint - Pobin Island - return to East Dam along the original route. 🏖️ Hiking Notes: There are two routes to Pobianzhou Mountain, corresponding to two entrances. One is a shortcut, located next to the pavilion behind the giant blue wave-breaking block, but it is not recommended because it is extremely difficult and unsafe. I recommend the second long route. The entrance is a concrete staircase with railings opposite the minibus station. After reaching the top, it turns into a flat dirt road. Although you need to climb one more hill, the road condition is much better and it is relatively easy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Huashan Viewpoint is an excellent camera position to overlook Dongba. The Tiffany blue High Island Reservoir lies peacefully between the mountains, while the other side stretches out to the vast ocean and the turbulent bay. Separated by a dam, there are countless changes. 😘😘 After crossing the first hill, you will reach a three-way intersection. There is a sign pointing the way to Pobianzhou. Just follow the sign. Stay on the main road throughout the journey and avoid taking shortcuts. 😎 It is strongly recommended to bring trekking poles to protect your knees, as you need to climb over two hills. 🥰 The round trip is 2 kilometers (about 2 hours), with a total climb of 200 meters. If you have enough energy, you can also visit the nearby Langke Bay or Baila Bay. 🏖️🏖️⭐️ Be careful with sun protection, there are only low shrubs on both sides of the mountain road, and there is almost no shade. There is only a toilet (with running water) on the north side of the East Dam of High Island Reservoir along the entire route, and there are no supply points along the rest of the route. 🏖️🏖️ #holiday #nichetravel #hongkong #hongkongcheck-in #hongkongtravelguide #pobinzhou #trip #like #naturallandscape

Breaking the border state, Langqia Bay lazy hiking punch guide. I've been wanting to come to MacLehose Trail for a long time!!! The main reason for coming here is to see this beautiful scenery with my own eyes But because I'm not a full-fledged hiker So I chose a route that allows me to see the best scenery without being too tired😳 If you're like me, just want to enjoy the scenery, take some photos and hike by the way, you can refer to this itinerary👇 🚗Depart from Luohu or Futian port in the morning, take the East Rail Line to Sha Tin and get off Then take a taxi to The cost is about 240💰 After getting off at Wan Yi Reservoir, you can check in at the first point, Breaking the Border State⛰️ There are two routes in Breaking the Border State One is the official route, which is easier and safer to walk, but it takes more than an hour longer than the wild road🕛 We took the 'wild road' I suggest you can also choose the wild road ⚠️Before the start of the wild road, there is a water channel-like road on the right facing the iron gate It's easier to climb than the grey stones on the left, and it's a lot easier I suggest going up on the right Although there is a section of the road that requires climbing and using hands and feet But the difficulty is not great, beginners are also ok👌 And it's really just a short section Wear good climbing shoes, watch your feet, hold on well, there will be no problem~ After playing in Breaking the Border State Return to the place where you got off There is a restroom and a pavilion where you can rest You can choose to have lunch in the pavilion, bring your own dry food🍞 After a good rest, you can set off for Langqia Bay🌊 Langqia Bay is the second section of the MacLehose Trail It's also the most beautiful section~ It's about half an hour's walk from the pavilion You need to go down a set of steps to get to the beach The sea in Langqia Bay is very beautiful👍 It's very comfortable to take pictures, blow the wind and watch the sea here😌 After playing here, we started to go back, it was about five o'clock↔️ Walk back to the pavilion and take a taxi back to Sha Tin or your desired destination🚗 I suggest you can call a taxi in advance☎️ You can also wait for the uphill car at the pavilion The master will generally require an additional 50💰 for downhill Because it's far to go uphill and there are fewer cars So it's more cost-effective for four people to take a taxi~ Personal suggestion: If you want to take this route, a large bottle of water is enough, too much is not finished and heavy, you don't need to bring too much food, just solve lunch, you can also bring some snacks😋 In short, this route will not be very hard, but it can achieve the purpose of hiking and enjoy the scenery, and you don't need to start too early~

🔅Broken Chau (Sai ​​Kung) I've always wanted to go to Po Ping Chau, but I was fascinated by the scenery around the hexagonal stone pillars of Lian Chuen Wan. The photo index is booming! During this long time at home, I decided to pick up a mask 😷 and went up the mountain with my friends. The weather was just right today, a cool breeze and not sunny, 🦵🏽 easy to finish the walk. ⚠️ Be careful to wear long pants, hiking shoes, because many mountain roads, slopes, not many flat roads, many thorns, to use hands and feet. ｜ 🚗How to get there: Take a taxi from Sai Kung Pier to the East Bar of Wan Yi Reservoir. (The photo of the cow is at the entrance) Duration: 3 hours (including break for photography) Photo Madness Index: 9/10 Environment: 10/10 Difficulty: 3/5 stars #hkfood #hkfoodstagram #hkfoodieblogger #hkfoods #hkfoodielife #hkfoodie #summerholiday #hkfoodshare #cteateat_foodie #camerafood first #foodporn #hkig #HongKongfood #datinggoodplace #hiking #hiking #pobianchau #Exhibition2021 #ThemeParkGuide #AffordableHotels

To save trouble, I signed up for a two-day and one-night hiking tour to the MacLehose Trail. It is indeed quite hassle-free. So is it necessary to join a tour group? Just share it briefly. We gathered at Shenzhen Liantang Port. There was a huge crowd of people going through the customs. We had to wait for people to gather at each stage. This was quite tedious and time-consuming, but later on, we chartered a car from the port to Saigon Pier, and then from Saigon to the starting point of the hike and camping, which was very worry-free. 🔹DAY1️⃣ (Pictures 10-11) [Beitan'ao-Ham Tin Bay Camping 6 km] Starting from the second stage end of Beitan'ao, the concrete road is shaded by trees. The whole journey is like walking in a park. The 130-meter climb is also very friendly. As for the 🏕️beach camping experience at Xiantian Bay... the atmosphere is there, but the fine sand covering the tent is real (it is recommended to camp on the villagers' land in Xiwan Village if possible, but the space is very limited). ▶ Camping tips: 1. The tour group you sign up for will provide you with tents and moisture-proof mats, but it is cold at night in February and March so you need to prepare sleeping bags. You can rent them at the convenience store for HK$50 each, and the deposit is also HK$50. 2. The convenience store provides meals, with a meal costing from a few dozen to a hundred dollars. Coke costs 25 and mineral water costs 15. It is slightly more expensive than in the city but acceptable. 3. You can also take a shower and use the toilet in the convenience store. A shower costs 40 yuan for 15 minutes. The toilet is quite clean, but there are few seats and you need to queue. 4. Exchange 300-500 Hong Kong dollars in advance. Convenience stores only accept Hong Kong dollars, and you can use it in taxis later. 🔹DAY2️⃣ (Pictures 12-13) [Ham Tin Bay - Sai Wan - Long Ke Bay - High Island Reservoir - Po Pin Chau 12 km] Today is the highlight! The whole journey from Ham Tin Bay to Po Pin Chau was full of energy💯 ✓ We encountered a wild boar family🐗in Sai Wan Village and took photos quietly without disturbing each other. ✓ The dirt road of Xiwan Mountain is what hiking should be like. ✓ Langjia Bay🌊That section is very beautiful and wonderful. ✓ The Wanzhu Coast of Pobian Island is worth seeing. ▶ Hiking tips: 1. Xiwan Village is the last supply station for this section! Bring enough water and food for the trip. 2. It is recommended to take the official route to Po Bin Chau, as the path is very narrow, steep and congested. 3. The group will be disbanded when we arrive at the reservoir. It is recommended to get a taxi at High Island Reservoir before 3pm. There are many taxis. We can share a taxi with 4 people to go to University Station. The fare will not exceed HK$250, which is cheap and convenient when shared per person. 【Summary】 ▪️The reverse crossing has no traffic jams, and the route and intensity are suitable for outdoor novices. An experienced person can probably complete the two-day journey in one day; ▪️For friends from other places, if you want to save trouble, want to travel light, or worry about language barriers, it will be easier to join a group; ▪️For friends in the Greater Bay Area, there is really no need to join a group. I personally think the most convenient way is to cross the border from Luohu or Futian, take the subway to the University Station, and take a taxi to the starting point of the hike. Even if you don’t share a ride, you can accept the taxi price. It is very convenient to download the route and rent a tent at a convenience store.

Check in at the Hong Kong version of Antarctica, Lo Fu Tau, and Po Pin Chau for the second time. I got tanned and my legs are numb, so I won't go today, but remember to call me next time you go hiking. (Don't trust Amap in Sai Kung. I thought it was a direct path, but I ended up spending two hours in the woods (I had to make my own way!)) The first stop is Tin Hau Temple, then Lo Fu Tau (the Hong Kong version of Antarctica is not an exaggeration, it really is a great place for photos)⛰️, then Pak Lap Village. If your legs are still okay, you can go to see the Kapok Cave with the pointed head (I couldn't make it this time). Then you climb and climb to the highest point, where you can see Po Pin Chau in the distance. From the highest mountain, the unique stones of Po Pin Chau are spectacular and make for great photos. The reverse hike ends at Po Pin Chau. Remember that the last minibus is at 6:30 pm. There are many people in line, but if there are many people, the driver will count the number of people and arrange for an extra bus. This time, I was lucky enough to catch the last minibus. In the morning, I took a taxi from Futian Port to the starting point, Leung Shuen Wan, for CNY 380. In the evening, I heard that a family asked about the price, and it was close to CNY 500 after the price increase. When you go out to play, be sure to bring more water, or you will have to drink seawater at Po Pin Chau.

Simple guide: Take a green taxi (350 HKD) from Futian Port Gate No. 2 to the East Dam of High Island Reservoir to start hiking. The circular route passes through Po Pin Chau - Cha Kwo Ling - Sai Tso Wan - Diamond Beach, arriving at Pak Lap Beach. Ascend to Pak Lap Pavilion and take the road back to the East Dam of High Island Reservoir. Take the New Territories minibus 9A back to Pak Tam Chung (about 12 HKD) - transfer to bus 289R (about 23 HKD) to reach Sha Tin Bus Terminus. Transfer to the East Rail Line at Sha Tin MTR station (about 30 HKD) to reach Lok Ma Chau Station (Futian Port) for customs clearance.

I highly recommend this beach where Li Lisen takes great photos Location: Po Pin Chau Transportation: You can take a taxi or a bus. Cost: Free Some suggestions Be sure to wear sun protection! Bring your supplies with you, there are no supply points in or near Pobian Island. Be sure to choose good weather! ! !

I finally got a close look at Pobianzhou, and the experience was fully realized. Transportation: Lok Ma Chau Station - Shatin Station - Shatin City Centre Bus Terminal - Pak Tam Chung - East Dam of High Island Reservoir - Po Pin Chau Buses run every 30 minutes, at Platform 2 of Shatin City Centre Bus Terminal, and you can use /zfb/Octopus Pak Tam Chung - East Dam of High Island Reservoir requires a minibus, which runs every 20 minutes. You cannot use wx/zfb, but only Octopus or cash. Essentials for traveling: Hong Kong and Macau Pass ID card Octopus card Hong Kong dollar This way, the transportation is very smooth and cheap. If you can't find someone to share a taxi, just choose public transportation. The environment in the carriage is really excellent.

There is a coastal landscape in Hong Kong that is worthy of a National Geographic cover, it is one of the best hiking trails in the world, a branch of the MacLehose Trail. The huge hexagonal stone columns are scattered along the coast in a staggered fashion, constituting the most spectacular natural landscape in Hong Kong! Coast of a Thousand Columns—Pak Lap State Pak Lap State is part of the Global Geopark, and due to long-term erosion by waves, sea caves have formed. The top collapses to become a group of natural sea erosion columns separated from the mountain. Here, you can see hexagonal volcanic stone columns. The scenery of Pak Lap State is truly stunning!

📍 Shenzhen round trip in one day 🚗 Depart from Futian Port in the morning, the earlier the better, so that you can have plenty of time. After crossing the border, take the East Rail Line to University Station, then exit from Exit B, where you can see the bus station and taxis. Note that taxis only accept cash, so if you didn't bring cash, there are two ATMs before Exit B where you can withdraw cash. If you plan to take a taxi to the East Dam of the Wan Yi Reservoir, it can be done for 198 Hong Kong dollars. If you are traveling with friends, you can consider carpooling, which can save both money and time! 🚕 To go to Pobei Zhou, you need to start walking from the bottom of the dam, and then climb the mountain. Although the road is not easy to walk, the scenery is absolutely worth it. You can refer to some other people's notes for the specific route, they will share some routes and experiences about Pobei Zhou! 🤭 If you want to continue on MacLehose Trail Section 2, remember to turn back to the East Dam and continue. Compared to the road of Pobei Zhou, the route of Section 2 is simpler.
