Autumn (October–December) for mild, clear weather and calmer seas; spring (March–May) is also pleasant with flowers. Avoid typhoon season (July–September) and check ferry operations in bad weather.

Subtropical climate: hot, humid summers with frequent thunderstorms and possible typhoons; mild, drier winters; spring and autumn are comfortable.

Access by public ferry (kai-to) from Ma Liu Shui (near University MTR station) and from Wong Shek Pier (Sai Kung area). Nearest MTR: University (Ma Liu Shui) on the East Rail Line. Not very wheelchair-friendly due to uneven terrain, steps, and narrow village paths. Nearest major airport: Hong Kong International Airport (connect via MTR/Taxis to ferry piers).

Half-day (3–4 hours) for a quick visit; overnight stay recommended to enjoy sunset, stargazing, and a relaxed pace.

Comfortable walking shoes, sun protection (hat, sunscreen), light rain jacket in summer, warm layer for cooler nights, camping gear if staying overnight, insect repellent.

Fresh seafood and simple village-style meals served at a few small restaurants; snacks and drinks sold at limited village shops. Souvenirs are modest—dried seafood or small local handicrafts where available.
