Hong Kong is rightly known as a glittering city that never sleeps. The flip side of all those neon lights, high-rise buildings and 24-hour bustle is that the firmament of stars above Hong Kong often cannot be seen from the city streets. But if you venture out east, to the far side of the mountains that block the nocturnal glow of Kowloon’s illuminations, you can finish a coastal hike with a peaceful night of stargazing over scenic ocean waters. The garden at Tai Hang Tun is perched on the edge of a rocky peninsula, which is protected as part of Clearwater Bay Country Park. It has grassy slopes which make for a comfortable night’s astronomical entertainment.
The village store at Tai Au Mun sells snacks and drinks. There’s a drink vending machine at the entrance to the Clearwater Bay Equestrian Centre, and at the end there’s a refreshment kiosk at Tai Hang Tun.
Take bus 91 from MTR Diamond Hill Station or minibus 103M from MTR Tseung Kwan O Station. Alight at Tai Au Mun, which is at the crossroads where the buses turn right to start their descent towards the popular beaches at Clear Water Bay. Walk straight ahead, past the sign marked ‘Clearwater Bay Country Park’, and turn left onto Lung Ha Wan Road to begin your hike.
Walk for 20 minutes along Clear Water Bay Road to return to the bus stop at Tai Au Mun. The last bus 91 departs from Clear Water Bay Beach at 11:30pm, passing Tai Au Mun a few minutes later. The minibus 103M runs until 1:45am. After that time, you will need to call a taxi.
