There are actually many beautiful sights in Hong Kong. This time, I’d like to recommend a low-effort itinerary where you can still enjoy stunning views — the best part is you won’t be drenched in sweat or anything like that.
Get off at Fanling Station and walk to the nearby minibus stop. There will be a sign that says “Luk Keng” along the way. On weekends, there are usually more people waiting, and minibuses come roughly every 15–30 minutes. On weekdays, you might have to wait about half an hour for one. It’s a direct ride to your destination.
This place was my first visit. The main reason was because it’s close to where I live, and I’d heard you could see silver grass here without having to hike up Tai Tung Shan (note that this is seasonal), so I thought I’d give it a try.
Unfortunately, I took a wrong turn right from the start. After getting off, I saw a really gorgeous lake in the distance and got lured over to take photos… The lake is no less beautiful than those in Japan, and you can even capture reflections in the water — I was instantly mesmerized. After taking photos, I headed toward Bride’s Pool Road. The whole way was along a road, and although it looked quite scenic, almost like something out of a foreign country, this was the wrong road. But hey, a wrong turn led me to a huge grassland, so I immediately played at being a Japanese-style pseudo-hipster and snapped some photos.
Getting back on track, walking along the seaside allows you to enjoy the scenery without feeling tired. After a while, you’ll pass by some mangroves, and in the distance, you’ll see a big mountain — it kind of resembles Loch Ness (call me dramatic if you want). It’s a nice spot to take a break and admire the view. Further along, there’s a fork in the road — one path leads to Valley Pok, the other to Kei Kwok Shue Ha. We continued toward Valley Pok, passed through a small forest, and before long, we saw some silver grass, which looked absolutely beautiful under the setting sun as we were descending…
You can choose to keep going, but I turned back here. There’s one thing to note: if you’re leaving, make sure to get to the minibus stop early to wait, because there’s only one minibus that leaves, and the queue gets really long. Don’t think about calling a taxi either — there aren’t any around. When I asked the minibus driver how long I’d have to wait if I missed the bus, he said around 40 minutes.
