Hong Kong Beach Life

With one final full day in Hong Kong, we joined forces with Victoria and she took us to her favourite secluded little spot. This involved a metro ride to Lantau Island, HK's biggest, on to a local bus (or taxi, if you can find one). We got off the bus at Cheung Sha Village and its glorious stretch of sand lay before us.

For me, Hong Kong was never somewhere I associated with world class beaches so I was, yet again, massively impressed with this little territory.

  

 

 Our day at the beach was fairly typical: sun, sand and a kayak/SUP rental. Roughly half an hour into our rental, the wind picked up our seafaring vessels got a little ride downstream. Finding our way back was a struggle, particularly for the less nature-practical person of the group. (Hint: the one who grew up in London).  Nearly four hours and several new muscles after our journey started, we returned to the beach for a drink and a nap.

 

As far as I'm concerned, HK's got it all: city, great cuisine, beach, endless day trips, friends who can show us the ropes. Step one of convincing Paul complete!
