Shek O Village

Shek O Village

Shek O Village is a 200-year-old fishing settlement nestled on the southeastern tip of Hong Kong Island. Founded by clans like Chan, Yip, Li, and Lau, the village features narrow lanes, colorful low-rise houses, and a strong sense of community. The Tin Hau Temple, built in 1891, stands as a testament to the villagers’ seafaring traditions and spiritual beliefs.

Just steps away from Shek O Beach and Country Park, the village is a favorite weekend escape. Local shops and snack stalls offer refreshments, beach gear rentals, and a taste of old-school hospitality. The iconic archway and bus terminus at the entrance are popular photo spots.

As a gateway to the Dragon’s Back trail, Shek O Village draws hikers and creatives alike. Whether you're wandering its alleys, soaking in the seaside vibe, or capturing its pastel palette, this village invites you to slow down and savor the moment.
