How it's used
Locals often refer to this island as the South Pole of Hong Kong due to its remote location at the southern tip of the territory. It is a popular destination for weekend hikers seeking unique rock formations and fresh seafood, though ferry services are limited to specific days of the week. Planning ahead is essential as missing the last boat back can leave visitors stranded until the next scheduled service.
