There are many festivals and celebrations in Hong Kong and we can often coincide our tours with one of these special events.
Or we can explore some of Hong Kong’s more secret corners by hiking to spectacular coastlines, feng shui woods and villages with their remaining inhabitants that really do seem like a land time forgot. There really is a multitude of locations in Hong Kong for great photography
The Tap Mun Chau and Kowloon tours can also be run as private tours.
Please email with any enquiries about individual tuition, small groups or one-day photography tours.
Cost: HK$2000 for half day (4 hours)- suitable for Kowloon HK$3000 for full day (8 hours) - necessary if we are going to remoter corners
Tour starts in a location to suit client We do not cover the cost of snacks/lunch, but we have many choices of what we eat.
The Sai Kung uplands and coasts have always been sparsely populated and, from the 1970s, many villagers left their ancestral lands in favour of city lives. Our tours offer a unique insight into the homes, lands and beaches these villagers left behind. Although just 20km from Kowloon, this tour will make you feel a world away. Access is restricted to walking or boat.
Chek Keng We can explore the historical village of Chek Keng. A wonderful treasure trove for a Photographer - though deserted, it is not truly abandoned as some former villagers occasionally return to check on their ancestral homes. Furniture and cooking utensils stand still in time, as if one day life in some of these homes might be resumed. There is even a Catholic church, built in 1867 - the entire Sai Kung peninsula was converted in the 1860s. But today these sit abandoned.
The woodlands behind the village contain stunning bamboo groves, and is home to a great number of fiddler crabs.The wild life today includes the village cows, dogs and passing packs of monkeys that live in the general area. During WWII, villagers in Chek Keng brought items such as old clothes, kerosene, matches and cigarettes to be smuggled into mainland China, where they then bought much-needed food products such as sugar, oil and rice.
There is an hour's walk involved in this tour.
