Jin Island is called Tiu Chung Chau is a part of Hong Kong Geopark.
This island has been eroded by waves and east wind for a long time, forming many special sea erosion landscapes. The sea cave in the middle of the photo is formed by year-long sea erosion. It is one of famous sea caves and archs in Hong Kong.
The adventure starts from one of the best beautiful places in Hong Kong - Sai Kung.
We started on a sunny summer day, from Sai Kung pier, it only takes 15 mins boat ride to the starting point.
There is no pier on the island, you need to step on the rocks to get off.
Upon getting off the boat, on the right hand side, is the start of the hiking route.
From Tai Wong Wan beach, it's a 30mins hike to Jin Island Viewpoint. Just follow the trail on your left. You'll have a view of Jin island like a Goldfish Wagging Tail floating on the sea.
Going down to Jin Island, you must be extra careful. It's a steep incline going down.
LEAVE NO TRACE and Happy Exploring!!
