Tung Ping Chau Day Trip

Tung Ping Chau sits at the far northeastern edge of Hong Kong's waters, closer to mainland China than to the city itself, and arriving here by sea makes the distance feel every bit as meaningful as it is. The Tung Ping Chau Day Trip departs from Ma Liu Shui and crosses open water toward an island that operates on an entirely different rhythm from the rest of Hong Kong. Tung Ping Chau is known for its extraordinary stratified rock formations, fossil-embedded cliff faces, and waters so clear that the seabed is visible from the surface.

The island has no permanent residents, no traffic, and no urban noise, making the crossing itself feel like a actual departure from everyday life. Passengers can explore the coastal walking trail, observe marine life in the surrounding waters, and absorb an atmosphere that is actually unlike anywhere else in the territory.
