Cheung Sha, Lantau Island
Unspoilt with a wide expanse of sand, and views across a sea studded with small islands, Cheung Sha is as unexpected as it is beautiful - a reminder that HK is actually sub-tropical and far more than vehicles, shops, and high-rise buildings. Walking along the sand was almost surreal: a Boxing day stroll in shirt-sleeves on a glorious day in fresh air - in Hong Kong! Amazing…
There are a couple of small beach-front restaurants worth visiting too. Lunch here costs about half what it does on the main islands, and the view is far more pleasant. Why have I never been over before? Well, there are fewer good birds than Mai Po (obviously) or Tai Po Kau, but that’s no reason not to visit - trust me on this…
