Pick up from selected hotels to the Outlying Islands Pier for a relaxing ferry ride to Cheung Chau (Long Island) which is about 12 kilometers southwest of the busy Hong Kong Island. The tour begins from the Pak Tai Temple (supreme Emperor of the Dark Heaven). Built in 1783, the temple's layout is in the form of traditional Chinese architecture, such as ceramic figurines on the roof ridges, mural of auspicious motifs and stone lions in the forecourt. Next walk down the beautiful Tung Wan Beach with its clear water and soft sand, a most popular spot for windsurfing and canoeing. The 3,000 year old Bronze-Age rock carvings can be seen with geometric graphics and abstract animal images.

Walk through the old main street of Pak She Street and San Hing Street, you will see a typical island community. After take 20 minute sampan ride to cruise inside the typhoon shelter to see the historical and cultural aspects of old fishing communities to West Bay, Cheung Po Tsai Cave. The mysterious cave reputed to have been the hideout of notorious 19th Century pirate Cheung Po Tsai (Prince of Pirates), who is said to have commanded followers of 2 thousand and a fleet of 600 junks.

The next stop is a Tin Hau Temple, which was built in the 17th Century. The temple attracts lots of followers and fishing folks to come to worship the Goddess of Sea, especially during the annual festival. Local people come to the temple for guidance by shaking the prediction box. Take a walk along the beautiful scenery of West Lane from Sai Wan to a local restaurant for dim sum lunch, after which you will have free time to explore the island by foot or on a bike.

These walking tours work just like audio guides found in museums and popular heritage sites, except that you listen using your own mobile phone. By simply dialing one phone number, you can walk around Hong Kong and be entertained with rarely told (but true) stories of the history, architecture, movies, and people that have made these cities so amazing!

Experience the audio guides that have received strong reviews in TIME magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The South China Morning Post and Business Traveler Magazine. A local phone number for personal use, map and a complimentary phone card with 2 hours prepaid airtime are included in the tour.

The Deserted Beaches are long white sandy beaches in the East Sai Kung Country Park backed by mountains and separated by ridges running steeply down to the sea. The only access is by walking or by boat and during the week they are practically deserted.

You will access this hiking tour by train, minibus and bus from Central to Pak Tam Chung at the entrance to the Sai Kung Country Park. From there, you will walk along a Country Park access road following the northern shore of the High Island Reservoir, the largest fresh water reservoir in Hong Kong with extensive views over the islands and mountains of the eastern New Territories.

After crossing a ridge into the first bay at Sai Wan, you will follow part of Section 2 of the MacLehose Trail around the coast of the magnificent bay called Tai Long Wan with spectacular views of the clear blue waters of the bay backed by rugged hills. After crossing two more peninsulas which shelter inlets from Mirs Bay, you will finish the walk at Pak Tam Road and take public transport back to the urban area.
