Needs local verification: Compiled in October 2026 from the Kiteboarding Association of Hong Kong's training-spot page, Megaloop Kite School's directions page, the Let's Kite Pui O card and the Unplug Shek O card. Pins are approximate; tide timing matters on the Lantau flats. Water temperature follows the association's ranges (15–26 °C December–March, 26–30 °C April–November). Needs local verification.
