Ha Pak Nai is a subdivision of Pak Nai ( Ha means 'lower'). It is a coastal area in the…read morenorthwestern area of New Territories, and faces the Deep Bay. Partly a shallow pebbly beach and partly a wetland mangrove, it is listed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in Hong Kong. Besides driving (actually the parking space is kind of limited due to the rush of people at weekends days of good weather), you can also get there by taking minibus route no. 33 at Tai Fung Street at Yuen Long town center, not far from Yeun Long or Long Ping MTR station, and get off after Lau Fau Shan roundabout. Some friends also opted for biking there but it's not an easy route, so only for people with confidence with biking skills. Because of its vantage location along the western coast, it is one of the best places in Hong Kong to view the sunset, unobstructed by buildings in front and overlooks onto the Shekou area of China on the far far horizon. The scene is quiet and open, and the sky stretches to infinity. It is even more serene if there is a bit of cloud in the sky, with the rays of golden lights refracted over the brim of the clouds forming layers of golden cotton candies . Quite a romantic view for couples indeed! On the pebbly beach you can often some fisherman's raising nurseries for seafood and also oysters raised on pieces of concrete blocks. Additionally, it is also very close to Lau Fau Shan, a popular place from Chinese-style fresh seafood in HK for reasonable price, so it is a very common itinerary for the locals to go for the sunset view at Ha Pak Nai and then have a seafood feast over at there.

The reasons were clear: there is a track that ran along the seaside with pretty much nothing to do- moreover at night this was a good location for IIs to come ashore so it wasn't the sort of place you would like to hang around. Times have changed though. Shenzhen has become more prosperous and there's more to look at on the opposite side of the shore than there is on this side. After the SARS event Hong Kongers have taken to the countryside which is decidedly a good thing as we now fully appreciate our natural beauty spots; which includes deep bay. This used to be a fishing village where oyster farms were abundant (water quality: not too sure) and most people came to Lau Fau Shan for the famed seafood and the local produce: salted fish and various dried fishery items. These are all still here but I guess the grips of commercialism has hit and it has lost the quiet ambience some what, with cars clogging up the route up here every weekend. Still though, if you venture down the path down deep bay towards the new Western Crossing, you will still find the mud banks which it is famed for. At low tide the mud banks are exposed and you will find all sorts of wild life here: crabs, birds and the sunset view is simply second to none. Cyclist will enjoy the fact that the further you go the less cars there are so they are free to roam this area. There's not much in terms of attractions here but that is in itself the beauty of it.

I honestly wasn't interested in the slightly walk to the pier as I wanted to rest but our friend Andrew insisted as we all made our way I was surprised to see how large it really was and there is a plaque at the entrance of the pier giving it a brief history of it being renamed to the 12th governor of Hong Kong. Not just a spot to take in the view but a service to the community is fascinating as Hong Kong rely on ferry use to various ports is something that I never imagine but is a great convenience to getting around place that are much more easier to access is just so cool. Thank you!

The stops included a traditional dim sum restaurant (average), a bbq pork spot (very good), a noodle shop (ok), a milk tea vendor (ok), and ended with an egg tart (worth skipping). I actually didn't feel like I ate very much on the tour. The dim sum spot offered the best chance to fill up but it was first and we were advised to pace ourselves. My advice would be, order lots of pork at the bbq place and don't be shy about what you want at the dim sum spot. Food wise I don't feel you get a great value on your tour but you do get your money's worth from the guide. Nathan's emails after the tour were a huge help in planning the rest of our trip. He provided lots of recommendations for bars, restaurants, day trips, etc. During the tour he was very informative and I learned a lot.

It was a pleasure spending the day with her eating, drinking, and running around the city. I'd recommend this tour to everyone with a few hours to spare while in HK - it's something you'll never experience on your own.

Cheung Chau is apparently a popular place to eat for locals. I did always try my best to eat as good of food here as possible. The first time I visited here was the day I decided to end things with an ex. It was a difficult day for me but I was at least able to enjoy a beautiful day at the beach with friends. Be careful though where on the beach you are. Some parts of the beach might be cleaner than others. The second time I came here, I was with a new friend who showed me a place on the cliff where we could I watch the sunset. We were getting to know each other, but for some reason by the end of our day together, I decided to confess that I had a crush. It was perhaps the combination of the sunset, the music playing, and the nature of our conversation. That's how romantic a beach cliff sunset is! This is all to say, this island is beautiful and worth a stop by if you have time in Hong Kong.
