[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for UNESCO Geopark Volcano Discovery Centre (Updated Jul)

First, let's explain some history. The old Sai Kung Pier was overloaded and busy in the 1980s. To solve the problem, the Hong Kong government started the construction of the new Sai Kung Public Pier in 2007, which was completed in 2009 and is managed by the Marine Department. The pier is mainly used for ferry services (small boats carrying passengers to and from various small islands) for embarking and disembarking passengers or a small amount of cargo. Along the coast, there are several ferry ticket counters, and visitors can also organize a group of 8 people for a private ferry tour around the Sai Kung coast. Nearby, there is a bus terminal with routes to the city center or Pak Tam Chung, as well as to Lady MacLehose Holiday Village. There are convenience stores, supermarkets, various bakeries, restaurants, and pubs. Near the bus terminal, there is a Volcano Discovery Centre and public restrooms. Overall, the Sai Kung area is beautiful and vast, making it a great place to spend several weekends for outings.

Once upon a time (about 140 million years ago), Hong Kong was a volcanic area, but it was a long time ago and there are no volcanoes in Hong Kong now. If you want to learn about Hong Kong’s past volcanic history, you need to go to the Science Museum or the Volcano Discovery Centre. The Volcano Discovery Centre is located in Sai Kung and can be seen when you get off the bus at Sai Kung Bus Station. The Volcano Discovery Centre displays different volcanic rock fragments and volcanic remains, and also displays the locations of Hong Kong’s old volcanoes, providing the most comprehensive and interesting volcanic knowledge to the public. Together with the Hong Kong Science Museum, it has become the only volcano knowledge school in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong had a volcano erupted? It turns out that 140 million years ago, a volcanic eruption really occurred in Hong Kong. The hexagonal rock columns in Sai Kung, which are quite magnificent, were formed after the volcanic eruption. The exhibition hall is actually very small, but has been carefully decorated, and there are volcanic rock specimens from all over the world. It is recommended to join the tour at the right time. It is a very good experience Address: Sai Kung Waterfront Park #LocalTour #HongKongGood Places #Summer good place #Good place for parents and children #Volcano Explorer
