Sai Kung

In the rural district of Sai Kung, the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark, is especially pristine, with hiking trails providing scenic views and leading past rare geological features.

The small village of Sai Kung is also famous for its fresh seafood, loaded off fishing boats right at the pier. Nearby is the trail head for Hong Kong’s longest marked trail, the MacLehose Trail. It stretches 62 miles/100km across the New Territories, from Sai Kung in the east to Tuen Mun in the west, but many people hike just a part of it.

A shorter walk, along what is called a Family Walk, brings you to Sheung Yiu Folk Museum, a former fortified Hakka enclave that now serves as a museum honoring a way of life in these parts more than 100 years ago.
