From downtown it’ll take you 2+ hours to travel to Grass Island (also known as Tap Mun). Grass Island is served by Tsui Wah Ferry Service. Upon arriving at the island’s Tap Mun Pier, head north (left) on Tap Mun Hoi Pong Street. Walk till the end of the street and you’ll see a path leading to Tap Mun Playground, which is on the east side of the island. It’ll take around 15-20 minutes.
I flew my drone from the park area just south of Tap Mun Playground. View the GPS in satellite mode for more context.
By Ferry:
- Wong Shek Pier in Sai Kung; about once every two hours, with higher frequency on weekends and holidays
