Hong Kong Locals' Backyard | The Ultimate Sai Kung Guide for a Carefree Outing

The Ultimate Sai Kung Guide for a Carefree Outing. Sai Kung has always been known as the 'Backyard of Hong Kong'. Here, you won't find the street vibes of Mong Kok or Tsim Sha Tsui, nor the hustle and bustle and skyscrapers of Central. What you will find is the beautiful glassy sea, lush country parks, and moderately high mountain ranges that roll on and on. Here, you can also see fishermen heading out to sea to catch fish, and you can enjoy the freshly caught delicious seafood. 🚇|【Transportation】: 1. Take minibus 1A from Choi Hung MTR C2 exit. 2. Take bus 92 from Diamond Hill Bus Terminus. 3. Take bus 101m from Hang Hau MTR B1 exit. 4. Take bus 299x from Sha Tin Bus Terminus. 5. Take bus 792M from Tseung Kwan O MTR A1 exit. 📌 Get off at the last stop of all routes to reach Sai Kung Pier. There are four ferry companies at the pier, just pick any one. The price and routes are the same, with about a 30-minute frequency. ⛰|【Popular Islands】: 1️⃣ Kau Sai Chau (30 HKD round trip) 2️⃣ Hap Mun Bay (Half Moon Bay) (40 HKD round trip) 🚤|【Activity Suggestions】: 1️⃣ Kayaking/Boating Single kayak reference price 200 HKD; Double kayak reference price 300 HKD 2️⃣ Night Fishing This is a seasonal activity, generally available for squid fishing from May to August. 3️⃣ Hiking There are several hiking trails in Sai Kung, each with beautiful scenery: ① Yung Shue O - Po Toi O ② Pak Lap Village - Pak Lap Beach - Cotton Tree Cave - Po Pin Chau - High Island Reservoir ③ Tai Tun Mountain (Sai Kung Country Park) …… 4️⃣ High Island Reservoir The East Dam of High Island Reservoir is one of the important sites of the UNESCO Global Geopark in Hong Kong, very impressive and worth visiting. 5️⃣ MacLehose Trail Hiking enthusiasts must have heard of the famous 'MacLehose Trail'.
