How to get there
A ferry sails directly to Lai Chi Chong from Ma Liu Shui (Shatin) or Wong Shek Pier (Sai Kung)(enquiries : 2527 2513). To go by road, take green minibus no. 7 in Sai Kung Market and get off at Pak Sha O. Get on the hill path and walk for 3.5 km. A large area of rock is exposed at low tide. Even at high tide, you can see many outcrops and sedimentary features on the west coast near the pier.
Remarks: Visitors should note the tidal levels and beware of slippery rock surface.
