Please read Frank the tour guide’s 6 tips for easy Tai O to Tung Chung sunset ferry ride.
Apart from preparing your cameras/phones to capture a lot of great view, travelers should first pay attention to the ferry schedule, crowds, your seats and weather.
The last tip is travelers may choose Frank’s easy Lantau Tai O sunset private car tour.
Besides taking Tai O to Tung Chung sunset ferry ride easily, clients can do more and see more in a relaxed manner, taking Ngong Ping Cable Car, Saying hello to Big Buddha etc., during Frank’s private tour service.
Prepare cameras for the view and pay attention to ferry schedule, crowds, your seats and weather
After boarding the Tai O to Tung Chung sunset ferry, travelers are surrounded by the good view.
So the first tip is travelers should prepare their cameras or phones.
Ferry passengers can see the quiet Tai O Fishing Village, vintage Tai O Heritage Hotel, long Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, stunning flight takeoff at Hong Kong Airport and great Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car facilities.
Although passengers need to depend on good luck to see Chinese White Dolphins, passengers can see the amazing sunset on the clear days easily.
If travelers are eager to see the above-mentioned scenery, please read Frank’s second tip, pay attention to the ferry schedule.
On weekdays and holidays, travelers can only take the 1800 ferry to see the sunset.
If travelers take the earlier ferries, travelers can still see other scenery.
If travelers miss the 1800 ferry, travelers need to take other transportations (taxi, bus) to leave Tai O as the 1800 ferry is actually the last ferry!
After checking the ferry schedule, please pay attention to the third tip, try to dodge the crowds.
A lot of locals take the same ferry to commute or for fun, especially on Saturday, Sunday and public holidays.
Please try to take the sunset ferry on the weekdays, instead of holidays.
It is the best to wait for the ferry at the Tai O Promenade Landing Steps 20-30 mins before the ferry departure time.
If travelers just line up to wait for the ferry 5-10 mins before 1800, mostly travelers cannot get a good position for the good view in the ferry boat.
So travelers should read the tip four, take a seat on the upper deck.
Travelers can only take the photos or videos for the good view on the upper deck.
On lower deck, travelers can only see the view through the stained windows due to the sea water and wave!
As travelers need to get the seats on the upper deck, travelers need to pay attention to tip five, beware of the cold and windy weather.
It is very good to take the sunset ferry in summer and autumn (May to November).
The refreshing breeze just becomes the natural AC for the passengers on the uncovered upper deck.
However, in the wintertime, the strong and cold wind can make the uncovered upper deck to be the refrigerator!
For example, it won’t be easy for travelers to take the ferry today (5 Jan 2021), which is called “Minor Cold”, the 23rd solar term in the Lunar calendar.
If travelers want to take the Tai O to Tung Chung sunset ferry easily, besides the above-mentioned five tips, travelers may adopt the sixth tip, take Frank’s Tai O sunset private tour.
