Ap Lei Pai, Tidal island in Southern District, Hong Kong.
The rocky island of Ap Lei Pai connects to Ap Lei Chau through a natural sandbar exposed at low tide, creating a 4.5-kilometer hiking path.
The untouched island has maintained its natural state throughout Hong Kong's development, serving as a testament to the region's geographical heritage.
Local residents and visitors regularly trek to Ap Lei Pai's lighthouse, which guides ships through the East Lamma Channel.
Access to Ap Lei Pai requires careful timing with tide schedules and proper hiking equipment, as no facilities or emergency exits exist on the island.
The island's sandbar formation allows visitors to walk across the sea during low tide, creating a temporary natural bridge between two land masses.
