How to visit two of Hong Kong's most remote islands in one day
CNN
Ap Chau and Kat O are located in Hong Kong's far north close to the border of Shenzhen in mainland China. With a little careful planning, it's possible to visit both in the same day.
(CNN) — Although some travelers think of Hong Kong as just Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon peninsula, the city is home to hundreds of inhabited and uninhabited islands. Still, many of these islands are easier to access than others. Some, like Lamma and Peng Chau, have regular multiple-times-per-day ferry services, a healthy community of full-time residents and a range of shops and businesses. Others can only be visited via private boat or kayak. Ap Chau and Kat O, AKA Duck Island and Crooked Island respectively, fall into the sweet spot in the middle. It's possible to visit both of these islands, located in Hong Kong's far north close to the border of Shenzhen in mainland China, provided you do a little careful planning ahead of time.
