Sai Kung Town
西贡市
A seaside town known as Hong Kong's 'back garden,' with a seafood street, a departure point for island hopping and the gateway to the Geopark.
Sai Kung Town is in the eastern New Territories. Hoi Pong Street is a famous seafood street, where fishing boats sell their catch right at the pier and restaurants will cook it for you. From the pier, ferries and speedboats run to outlying islands such as Kiu Tsui Chau (a connected sandbar), Yim Tin Tsai and Kau Sai Chau, and boats also run tours along the Geopark coastline. The town has many Western restaurants and cafés. Admission is free. From Choi Hung or Hang Hau MTR Station, take a minibus or bus for about 30 minutes.
