Antiquity
Ap Chau & Kat O: explore islands’ Hakka and fishermen culture that has changed little over past decades

The tiny island of Ap Chau and its larger neighbour, Kat O, located in Double Haven, have changed little in decades. They form part of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark. Visitors can relax as they learn about the history, culture and lives of the islands’ fisherfolk. Explore Ap Chau — best known for its spectacular, Instagram-friendly ochre-coloured rock formations, including one shaped like a duck’s head with a sea arch forming its ‘eye’ — and take an enticing hike across Kat O, offering spectacular hilltop views of Double Haven — one of Hong Kong’s most beautiful stretches of ocean.
Refuel
Ap Chau has a few informal pop-up stores offering snacks and drinks, but their availability is unpredictable. Although Kat O has several village stores, many of them are open only at weekends and on public holidays.
Transport
Getting to Ap Chau:
From MTR University Station Exit B, take bus 272K and get off at the first stop at Ma Liu Shui Public Pier, then walk 100 metres to Ma Liu Shui Landing No. 3 for the ferry to Kat O and Ap Chau; or you can walk for about 15 minutes from the station to Ma Liu Shui Landing No. 3. Ferries operate only on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. The ferry takes about 1.5 hours.
Leaving from Kat O:
Take the same ferry, which leaves at 3:30pm to Ma Liu Shui. Take bus 272K or a taxi back to MTR University Station.
Tips
The ferry to Ap Chau and Kat O operates only once a day, at 9am, on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Stay on the ferry during its 15-minute stop at Kat O before travelling on to Ap Chau. Do not miss the 12:30pm ferry from Ap Chau to Kat O as there are no others.
