Cycling Around the Island, Sea Activities, and a Trip to Changzhou Island to Fulfill All Your Travel Wishes!
Cycling around the island, enjoying sea activities, and a trip to Changzhou Island to fulfill all your travel wishes!
We often live in the steel and concrete forest of urban areas, and here surrounded by towering buildings, which often feels oppressive, so we often want to escape the annoyance brought by the city and seek tranquility, and where should we go on weekends to find this tranquility? There is a good choice – to visit Cheung's Changzhou Island!
How can I get to Changzhou Island most conveniently?
For those who live in Cheung's or Shenzhen, they can choose to take the ferry. The ferry will slowly travel from the Central Harbour and Victoria Harbour, allowing you to get to Changzhou Island from Hong Kong Island. The journey takes about 45 minutes, allowing you to bring yourself from the extremely fast modern city to the quiet and fresh Changzhou Island. This might be the unique charm of Cheung's Hong Kong!
And for friends from other places, it is recommended to fly to Shenzhen or Hong Kong and then take the same transfer ferry to the island. After all, flights in Hong Kong and Shenzhen are very convenient, and the routes are very diverse, so there will definitely be one that suits you. Once you get to the island, the main mode of transportation will generally switch to bicycles. We often see many young people riding bicycles across our side on the island, with laughter echoing throughout the hot sea breeze, which is very enjoyable.
When is the best time to visit Changzhou Island?
Changzhou Island belongs to subtropical climate, so its temperature changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter are not obvious. The coldest temperature is only around 7 or 8 degrees Celsius, but the hottest temperature can reach 38 degrees Celsius. However, overall, its temperature is very pleasant in all four seasons, so it's good to visit anytime!
When you go there, you don't need to bring special sunscreen or long-sleeved clothes. Just bring enough clothes suitable for the local climate and the temperature of the season. It is recommended to arrive early in the morning so that you can spend the whole day on the island from morning to evening, experiencing the local culture and customs.
What is worth eating on Changzhou Island?
As we all know, travel often involves buying and eating, and Changzhou Island must have local specialties. Here we recommend a well-established noodle shop called Zhang Ji Noodle. The signature dish is Hongzhou Fish Dumpling Noodles. The Hongzhou Fish Dumpling flavor is very unique, and it's a must-try when you visit Changzhou Island!
If you like seafood, you can go to a seafood street where there are many seafood and seafood processing stores. Two of the most famous seafood shops are Old Friends and Rong Ji. The seafood there is just freshly caught from the sea, so the flavor is very sweet. You can also buy seafood at the market and then ask the store to process it for you, and the store will charge a processing fee.
Where should I stay in Changzhou Island?
Generally, the accommodation budget depends on the budget. If you have a sufficient budget, it is recommended to stay in a good hotel. Although it is a bit extravagant, it costs about 900 Hong Kong dollars per night. If your accommodation budget is high, you can choose to stay here.
If you have a moderate budget or don't want to spend too much on accommodation, you can choose a residential resort, which usually costs around 350 Hong Kong dollars per night. The price will rise during the weekend, usually between 350 and 200 Hong Kong dollars. When you take the ferry, you can consult the information about the resort at the ferry dock, where there are many booking stalls, which is very convenient.
Does the resident of Changzhou Island have any taboos?
We often say that when we travel to a place, we should respect the local customs and culture, so we are very curious about the taboos of Changzhou Island residents. Fortunately, because Changzhou Island is a relaxed and people-oriented place, the residents are very friendly, and there are no taboos. Generally, as long as you are kind and respectful to others, the local residents will be kind and respectful to you.
How should I play in Changzhou Island?
There are various water activities on the east breakwater bay, such as jet skis, etc. Those who like to play in the water can choose to come here. In addition, if you don't just like playing water but also like to see the mountains, you can rent a bicycle to cycle around the whole island.
The east breakwater bay is one of Hong Kong's designated filming locations. Many movies have shot scenes here, so the scenery is beautiful. There are often festivals and celebrations every year. For example, Qingming Festival has color and grabbing bags on the mountain celebrations, which are worth visiting.
Okay, after reading these introductions, are you starting to be moved? Then quickly pack your luggage and come to Changzhou Island with your friends to enjoy it!
