Hong Kong Sunset at Pui O Beach, Lantau Island

Lantau Island’s lovely, gently curving Pui O Beach, at the foot of lush rolling hills, is one of Hong Kong’s lesser-known delights. And after spending a tranquil day relaxing on its tree-lined, soft powdered golden sand, or sipping a perfectly chilled beer at a laid-back waterfront bar while watching the setting sun slowly disappear from view, you may want to keep it a secret from your friends. Its alluring beachfront setting provides a welcome destination for weary-legged hikers and swimmers. For an alternative to the wide range of typical dishes served at its beachside restaurant, you can take a short bus ride to the coastal town of Mui Wo to find a good selection of cafes and restaurants.

Wide angle lens and tripods.
