Yau Ley Seafood Restaurant at High Island is one of Hong Kong\u2019s least accessible dining spots, yet the journey is part of the appeal. While best known for its seafood, the menu includes a small selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes, and families will appreciate the nearby beach where children can explore and paddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family-run restaurant is most often reached by boat, but there is also a lesser-known hiking route that makes for a rewarding day out. A leisurely walk through Sai Kung Country Park combines coastal scenery, local history and the promise of a well-earned meal at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/hiking-maclehose-trail-ma-on-shan\/\">Your guide to hiking Ma On Shan at sunrise<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting there<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d14755.304006074797!2d114.319567!3d22.397916!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x0%3A0xec6e6bfe4e270791!2sSai+Kung+Country+Park+Vistor+Centre!5e0!3m2!1sen!2shk!4v1561712184732!5m2!1sen!2shk\" width=\"1500\" height=\"500\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Take bus 94 or a taxi to the entrance of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.afcd.gov.hk\/english\/country\/cou_vis\/cou_vis_cou\/cou_vis_cou_ske\/cou_vis_cou_ske.html\">Sai Kung Country Park<\/a><\/strong>. If you prefer to shorten the hike, taxis can continue through the gate to Pak A, just past the west dam of High Island Reservoir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin at the entrance to Sai Kung Country Park and follow Sai Kung Man Yee Road, which forms part of Maclehose Trail Section 1, skirting the western edge of High Island Reservoir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The walk around the reservoir takes roughly two hours before you reach a sign directing you towards Pak A Village. Turn right off the road and descend along the footpath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After around 15 minutes you will reach a seaside pagoda. Take the path on the left that follows the coastline, passing abandoned village houses, a basketball court and an old school building. At the next fork, turn right and continue to Leung Sheun Wan Tin Hau Temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue past a sea urchin restaurant and another large abandoned structure. Looking across the water you will see Sha Kiu Pier, your destination. Follow the coastline around a small beach cove to reach the pier and restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Yau-Ley-7-1030x687.jpg\" alt=\"Yau Ley Seafood Restaurant in Sai Kung\" class=\"wp-image-2128\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Matthew Teague<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After taking in the views and enjoying your meal, you can either retrace your steps or return by speedboat to Sai Kung Pier.
