Sai Kung is a wonderful area just a 20-30 minute drive from Kowloon. Here, you’ll find green nature, beautiful beaches, delicious seafood, and peace—a much-needed break from Hong Kong's hectic hustle among the skyscrapers.
We splurged and stayed for 4 days at the luxury WM Hotel with sea views, an infinity pool, and a huge breakfast buffet.
But you can't just sit around all day, right? You need to explore the beautiful nature and find one of the fantastic beaches.
The goal of the hike is Trio Beach. This beach is only accessible by hikers and from the sea—you can sail there in 10 minutes with a cheap ferry (sampan) from Pak Sha Wan Pier.
We found a walking route on Google Maps from the WM Hotel to Trio Beach. It’s about 4.5 km each way.
Alternatively, you can find almost the same route on alltrails.com, starting from Pak Sha Wan and ending at Trio Beach. The hike is called ‘Trio Beach Hike.’
The hike is moderately challenging. Much of the trail is on bumpy gravel paths, going up and down hills. Around you, there’s lovely nature, butterflies, and stunning views of water on both sides.
It's a beautiful and slightly challenging hike. Bring plenty of water, a sun hat, and swimwear. Trio Beach is a lovely sandy beach with fantastic water, changing rooms, and a kiosk selling drinks and snacks.
Whether you walk back (like we did) or take a sampan depends on your mood and energy.
