Cape d'Aguilar (鶴咀) hike

Cape D’Aguilar (aka Hok Tsui, or 鶴咀 in Chinese) is a peninsula on the southeast side of Hong Kong Island. Cape d’Aguilar is the the only Marine Reserve in Hong Kong.

To get there you can take a bus from Shau Kei Wan MTR exit A3. From the Cape d’Aguilar bus stop just walk along the main road. During the walk you will see Stanley and the Tai Tam reservoir. After about 3 km of walk you wll run into the Cape d’Aguilar HF Radio Transmitting Station. Just head towards the grassy path on the left to bypass the radio station. After a while you will see a crossroad. It is recommended to visit the Marine Reserve first and come back for the light house later.
