BIGGEST CLEAN UP EVER AT SHEK PAI WAN
Join Living Lamma and the Hong Kong Hiking Meet Up Group on Saturday 25th February for a jolly good clean up!
Shek Pai Wan on South Lamma should be one of Hong Kong's most scenic spots, though sadly the rubbish brought in on the tide means it often looks like a landfill site. The picture above shows what we found at a clean up in October. It was only later that a local village head explained that this used to be the mouth of a river. He used to catch fish here and locals would put up to 5 small boats here during typhoons.
We can make a difference. The more rubbish we collect and the more rubbish people see, the more we can start to educate people to be responsible about the waste they produce and discard.
So come along - ALL WELCOME!
From Yung Shue Wan:
Meet at Hung Shing Yeh at 8 am for a hike over to Sok Kwu Wan where we will meet those coming from Central.
From Central:
Take the 8.35 am ferry from Pier 4 in Central. The journey takes 30 minutes and costs HK$25.
We will pick up plastic bags from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department in Sok Kwu Wan and then hike over the hill to Shek Pai Wan - a walk of around 45 minutes.
Things to Bring & Wear:
Water - 2 bottles & snacks to give you enough energy until lunch
Sun block and hat (if it's sunny)
Sturdy footwear - no sandals
Gloves are a good idea!
The clean up will start around 10 am and last for around 2 hours. Then we'll hike back round to Sok Kwu Wan for lunch (at your own expense). Ferry times for the return journey are: 2.35pm, 3.20pm and 4.05pm, or you can walk back to Yung Shue Wan.
We hope to make this event as successful as our last two clean ups of this beach - or even more so. You can sign up by emailing
