Being on the far coast of Hong Kong does have its advantages. In Tuen Mun, you can find many experiences that you won’t find in the inner city. From stunning sunsets, to serene monasteries, and of course, the freshest seafood.

Run by the Crossroads Foundation charity, this multifaceted venue is one of a kind in Hong Kong. Their Global Handicrafts marketplace is a trove of artisanal fair-trade products from around the world, and with a range that includes Chilean clay ocarinas, wood carvings from Bethlehem and Ethiopian coffee beans, eclectic is an understatement. Next, enjoy a relaxing drink at the Silk Road Cafe, which serves a range of hot and cold fair-trade beverages and snacks — try the masala chai.

The three-storey Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall catches the eye before you enter, with a flamboyant red facade featuring two gigantic gold dragons coiled around its pillars, plus a stone elephant and pair of lions guarding its entrance. Inside is the Mahavira Hall, home to three giant gold statues of Buddha Shakyamuni, and walls adorned with the thousands of Buddha reliefs that give the building its name. The Miu Fat Monastery main complex next door couldn’t be more different; a modern glass and concrete affair, it’s topped by a magnificent lotus-shaped hall, which boasts stellar views over Tuen Mun.

Although there are dozens of seafood restaurants in and around Sam Shing Hui Seafood Market, there is one local favourite situated away from the bustle that has been attracting crowds for decades.

This quiet stretch boasts unimpeded sea views, making it one of the best places to watch the sunset in Hong Kong.
