If you work and live on Hong Kong Island, chances are you\u2019re bound to experience some anxiety once in a while. Who wouldn\u2019t get annoyed at the constant noise and crowds? We can\u2019t all afford to go on vacations every weekend to take a breather, but when the city feels suffocating, you can enjoy a temporary getaway at the outlying islands! Lamma Island<\/a> is so overrated – if you want to enjoy the true bliss of peace, head over to <\/span>Mui Wo<\/span><\/a>! <\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy some quality seafood<\/b><\/p>\n

Other than Sai Kung, Mui Wo has delicious and affordable seafood. You can choose to eat at <\/span>Fook Chui Loi Seafood Restaurant <\/span><\/a>or <\/span>Shun Hing Seafood<\/span><\/a> and enjoy the magnetic view of the beach while you\u2019re at it, or head over to the Mui Wo cooked food centre for a more authentic local experience. Either way, you can enjoy local seafood dishes such as clams cooked in soya sauce and chili and fried oyster omelettes. Yum!<\/span><\/p>\n

Ride off into the sunset on two wheels<\/b><\/p>\n

Sick of walking? You can always rent a bike near the ferry pier and explore more of the island. Be sure to check out the local villages and Silver Mine Waterfall while you\u2019re there! For those on a romantic date, you can rent a four-wheeled bicycle and ride around town with your significant other. You may get lost in your partner\u2019s eyes, but just be sure to keep your eyes on the road!<\/span><\/p>\n

Chill out on the beach<\/b><\/p>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love an empty beach? Unlike Repulse Bay or Shek O beach, Silver Mine Bay Beach is never crowded, even on busy weekends. If you get bored of sitting on the beach, you can always grab a bite at a nearby Chinese and Western restaurant and listen to the calming waves while enjoying a good meal. In the late afternoons, you can even witness a herd of cows heading over to the beach to chill there – they sure know how to enjoy life!<\/span><\/p>\n

Put your hiking boots to good use<\/b><\/p>\n

Want to see a bird eye\u2019s view of Mui Wo for free? Hiking is the way to do it. The thought of hiking may not appeal to some of you, but keep in mind that Section 1 of the Lantau Trail is an easy and relaxing trail designed for amateur hikers. The start of the trail begins at Mui Wo ferry pier, and in less than an hour, you\u2019ll arrive at the top of the hill! While you\u2019re there, be sure to check out the local village Lychee Yuen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unwind with an authentic Thai massage<\/b><\/p>\n

After all that walking and cycling, your legs deserve a good break at an authentic Thai Massage place. There\u2019s quite a few scattered around town, but if you\u2019re looking for convenience, you can head over to the Thai Massage places right next to the ferry pier. Be sure to book ahead though – we recommend making a reservation the moment you arrive in Mui Wo. Unlike the city centre, massages in Mui Wo are cheap and affordable!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
