Hi,
We%26#39;re thinking of staying our last night (or 2) at the Silvermine to unwind after 5 weeks traveling. We will be coming from either Guangzhou or Shenzhen - can anyone tell me the best way to get there (and approximate time traveling from these 2 places)? I know both ferry and MTR can get you there from HK.
What is the beach like - ok for kids to play on?
Silvermine Beach Hotel - questions
You can get there by ferry to Mui Wo from Central Pier 6 next to the Star Ferry Pier on Hong Kong Island. The journey takes about 30 mins on the Fast Ferry or 50 mins on the Ordinary (double-deck) Ferry. The hotel is about 10 mins walk along the promenade from the ferry pier at Mui Wo. The MTR only reaches the northern side of Lantau Island. You can get a connecting bus to Mui Wo from Tung Chung MTR Station but it%26#39;s probably a long way round to get there depending on where you arrive in HK. The bus journey 3M from Tung Chung to Mui Wo takes about 45 mins. If you need to get to/from the airport the direct A35 bus connection has recently been reduced to only 5 departures a day each way but as an alternative you can use bus 3M between Mui Wo and Tung Chung and connect with shuttle bus S1 which operates between Tung Chung and the airport (10/15 mins).
The hotel is in a scenic location and the beach has reasonably good and clean sands and good facilities although there are better beaches such as Cheung Sha along the South Lantau Road;
