How To Get To Peng Chau

The only way to reach Peng Chau is by boat — it is an island after all! There are frequent ferries from Central Pier 6 as well as less frequent sailings to other destinations.

Central To Peng Chau Ferry Schedule

Choose the fast ferry from Central to get you over to Peng Chau in under 30 minutes, or opt for a more relaxed journey when you grab a slow ferry, which crosses in 40 minutes for cheaper. You can view the full Central to Peng Chau ferry timetable here.

Mui Wo, Chi Ma Wan, Cheung Chau And Discovery Bay To Peng Chau Ferry Schedule

Things To Do On Peng Chau

Hike To Finger Hill And Ngan Chau Tsai Pavilion

For panoramic views all the way to Disneyland and the Tsing Ma Bridge, make your ascent to the top of Finger Hill. The climb is relatively easy and takes about 45 minutes to make the 96-metre ascent. If you want to continue your adventure, follow the narrow trail to Peng Chau’s easternmost point, Ngan Chau Tsai Pavillion.

Peng Yu Path Walk

A more relaxed option is to make the 2km coastal loop of the northern part of the island, starting around the Seven Sisters Temple and passing by Old Fisherman’s Rock. Along the way, you can choose your favourite stretch of sand (there are around four secluded beaches on this walk), pitch your tent for a night of camping and cook up your own feast at the BBQ pits.

Tung Wan Beach

The largest beach on Peng Chau, Tung Wan Beach offers views across to Hong Kong Island. Please note, there aren’t any facilities here so you’ll need to bring everything you need or pick it up in town.

Catch The Sunset At Tai Lei Island

One of our favourite things to do at Peng Chau is to pack a picnic and set ourselves up for the evening at Tai Lei Island. Cross the small bridge from the main island and settle in as golden hour approaches and watch as the sky transforms.

Sassy Tip: If you stay into the evening you’ll also catch the Disneyland fireworks!
