1 hour (1 km)
Appreciation: 7/10. While it is very far and not easily accessible, Tap Mun is quite pretty and populated with friendly feral cows. Nice local food to have on the island as well. Snacks from the aunties (no uncles in sight for some reason)
Difficulty: 1/10
Cel phone coverage: Everywhere
Water needs: 1 liter
Transportation: Ferry from the Ma Liu Shui @ University MTR station, or from the Wong Shek pier in Sai Kung. About 1h15 ferry
Why it's worth it:
-----------------------
The island is so small that I won't bother with trails there; there's one that circles the part of the island open for visit. Instead, I'll show you how to get to the island itself.
First way:
On weekends and public holidays, the bus 96R will take you from Diamond Hill MTR to Wong Shek Pier. Then take the ferry to Tap Mun from there
Second Way:
Take the ferry from University MTR station
University MTR exit A. Exit and go left |
Stop by the sign right at the exit on the left |
Here's how to get to the pier. About 10 minutes walk |
Around and over the highway |
Over the highway again, down the stairs on the left, then through. Then go through the parking lot. Once you are through all the roads, head left |
