Long Ke Wan is considered a very remote beach by Hong Kong people. There are many beaches, with lifeguard service provided by the government, nearer the city. The place is mostly visited by hikers passing by. People who swim there would be rich people sailing there by private yachts, and campers who hike then stay overnight there. For hikers, Long Ke Wan is just a middle point on their hiking trails, and never a destination by itself, except campers. They will not spend their time for a dip in the sea there, especially as it is risky to swim there with no lifeguard provided by the government.
What I like from you guys that stands out from the other travel "influencers" is that you guys actually make the effort to visit HK's nature and beaches and spots that are lesser known to tourists. Many people whine that HK is just a dense city but they didn't even bother to get out of the urban areas! And as you experienced it yourself, nature is really not that far away to get to. There are even some beaches that are closer on HK island like Shek O, Stanley, Repulse Bay, etc that are managed by the govt and have lifeguards and washroom facilities like another commentor said. Glad you are one of the few influencers who actually did their research! You got a subscribe from me
Hong Kong is a small city but it is very convenient to reach everywhere. It just takes half a hour to reach beaches and nature from the centre of the busy city. Many beaches and islands. Various transport choices such as van, bus, mrt, din din tram, ferry. Many foreigners and Hongkongers enjoy living in islands. At daytime, they go to central for working by ferry. In the evening, they return to the island. Hong Kong food and culture had been mixed with western and eastern elements.
@stefanocastiello. just find a job in HK. After 7 years of legal employment continously in HK, you can get a permanent Hong Kong ID card Any foreigners have become HK citizens by this way. It is an easy and low cost way to immigrate to HK than other countries. Thousands of people sold their assets and properties for immigrating to other countries but some fail and some succeed. But for hk, it is so easy to reach the task at minimum cost. You can also become a true hkger. Good luck!
@@stecastiello you can find a job in HK. After continuous employment for 7 yrs, you can get a HK permanent ID. Many foreigners have become HK citizens by this way. It is easy and low cost to immigrate that you rarely find in other places.
@@eddiewang5461 Depends which foreigners become HK citizens. If they are Filipino, Indian, Nepalese, etc. many become HK citizens because the HK passport is better than their home countries. If they are European, Australian, British, etc. they are unlikely to become HK citizens because that would mean renouncing their better passports which they wouldn't do so they just stick to having permanent residency
Hi! Thanks for the information. It can be dangerous for tourists, then. I didn’t see any billboards regarding danger, by the way. Maybe they should consider installing them.
Hong Kong has a long coastline that is full of twists and turns with many bays and beaches. A total of 42 beaches in Hong Kong are managed by the government, and over 40 beaches are not maintained by the government (no lifeguards are on duty, not equipped with shark nets)
@@stecastiello Not common but the shark nets are for precaution. Also the managed beaches are relatively rubbish free also have shower and changing facilities, and more accessible therefore more people.
@@stecastiello In 1990s, many cases were reported that sharks attacked people. Then HK Legislative Council passed an act for installation of anti shark net. So, it is safe for beaches with lifeguard around hk island and peninsular Kowloon. But i have no idea about the installation of shark net ot not in the remote area without lifeguard particularly

Hi! Thank you so much for the kind words. This is exactly why I liked Hong Kong so much-a big city with nature so close by.
Beautiful and well done! Glad you showed different parts of HK and took the time to explore!

Yeah! Absolutely agree. That’s why I liked Hong Kong so much!

You can take a boat from Sai Kung Ferry Station to some beaches on the outer island, which are clean, well managed, and safer for tourists.
Hi!
Yes, when we searched for beaches, we saw those as well, but this one was particularly interesting for the hike and wilderness
A common sentiment I hear from a lot of HK expats is how you can go from the densest cityscape to utter wilderness in an hour, without needing a car
Hi! Yes, so great. It gives you the opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle in a blink of an eye to explore nature
If you guys were in the Jordan/Yau Ma Tei area, you could've taken the Mongkok to Sai Kung red minibus at Dundas Street
H! It would have been easier then but unfortunately we didn’t find this route 😕
@4:57 - 35c + humidity is too hot for Hong Kongers - notice the freezing ac in a lot of Hong Kong buildings
35 plus humidity means over 40. It's reckless to go hiking in weather over 30 due to heat stroke.
Yeah! It might be one of the main reasons, along with the fact that the beach wasn't supervised by the government
The reason why there is a few / no person in the beach because it is not managed by the government and there is no lifeguard.

Taxi's are extremely dangerous in Hong Kong. Elderly drivers get into serious accidents. Tourists must be educated about the reality of Hong Kong.
Hi! Unfortunately, I didn’t know that, but not every taxi driver was driving like crazy.
I live in Hong Kong. We do have occasional taxi accidents but they are very rare.
@@SW-wf3gy Hong Kong has regular taxi accidents. tell the truth.
@ what do you mean regular? You are exaggerating. To tell the truth.
@@SW-wf3gy Truth hurts doesn't it. Go cry baby.
