The peninsula is home to one of Hong Kong’s most popular beaches, which attracts crowds of people looking to relax by the sea on weekends. Beyond the beach, visitors can wander through narrow alleys lined with colorful village houses or take a leisurely hike in the hills above the bay to enjoy sweeping views of the coastline.
