Sai Wan Pavilion — Attraction in Hong Kong

Start of the hiking trail to Sai Wan beach. Approximately 30-40 mins of mostly downhill trek to reach. This rating is solely for the pavilion.

Very inaccessible place that can only be reached by bus 29R from Sai Kung in-front of McDonald’s. If not, you need to take a taxi. This is because the road here is very narrow and up in the mountains. and accident could happen anytime if the driver is not careful.

There are taxis here in the afternoon but during the night about 5-6pm, no more taxi left as it’s very hard to drive in the dark. Suggest you to leave early before 5, or take the speed boat back to Sai Kung. Plan ahead as you will have to hike back to the pavilion from the beach...

Good spot to start/end your hikes around MacLehose trail stage 2 or to get to Sai Wan beach area.

No mobile reception here, so don’t assume you can call for a taxi/car. If aiming to leave from here, time your return early enough that you can still catch inbound taxis. On weekends, taxis will try to charge double or triple the meter charge to get back to Sai Kung / visitor car park so may want to consider other options to get back to town including speed boat from Sai Wan.

This place is a starting point for a number of hikes, and also the end point if one's coming from the other end. There were very weak cellphone signals, so calling for a cab could be difficult. There's a shaded public sitting area, and a public transport stop next to it. Before visiting, it is highly recommended to check the timing of public transport. For the return trip in the evening on a Sunday, the queue for the bus was quite long. Cabs were charging an amount in addition to the reading on the fare meter, so it's better to keep extra...
