For MTR users: Take the Island Line to Kennedy Town Station, Exit D. You can take Citybus 43M/971/5B to "Caritas Jockey Club Hostel" stop, then walk back a few dozen meters straight ahead.

Numerous fashion magazines have done photo shoots here too. Standing on the pier, you can capture the same angles as the stars~ ✨Cinematic vibes maxed out: The blue swimming shed fences and wooden pier stretching into the sea, paired with blue skies, white clouds, and waves, look just like scenes from "Our Little Sister," fresh and healing. Even straight out of the camera, the shots look amazing! ✨Sunset paradise: The golden hour is between 5-6 PM! The sunset dyes the sea golden-red, with the pier, swimming shed, and sunset all in one frame. The atmosphere is instantly elevated, and every photo is a mood masterpiece that will get tons of likes on social media~ ✨Perfect sunset viewing spot: At dusk, the sun reflects on the shimmering sea, with the swimming shed and sunset in the same frame—breathtakingly beautiful and full of atmosphere! ✨Fewer crowds, beautiful scenery: Compared to other popular spots in Hong Kong, this place is much less crowded, so you can enjoy the peacefulness and beauty of the seaside at your own pace. 📸Photo tips: • Outfit: Light colors like white, blue, and light apricot work best! Pair with a straw hat, silk scarf, or canvas bag for an instant Japanese vibe; you can also wear a camisole and jeans for a fresh and casual look~ • Angles: Stand in the middle of the pier and shoot looking back, sit by the fence for a side profile, capture the full pier from the shore, or crouch down for close-ups of the waves and swimming shed—all look fantastic!
