SAI KUNG COUNTRY PARK

Natural site to discover

We join this country Park 44 km 2 by a beautiful road that follows the coastline. Be careful about twenty minutes to arrive at Pak Tam Chung at the Visitors' Center, at the entrance to the park entrance. Only minibuses, some taxis and park residents are allowed to cross it. We go to the Country Park of Sai Kung, because it is also the departure of the famous maclehose trail, 100 km long. Follow the paved road practically to the end, then take the trail after the dam. At each start of the trail, a map indicates the gradient, the level of difficulty and the layout. In the village of Hoi Ha at the beginning of the national park, you can rent a seamless boat on the seafront to see a very clear sea floor that is much clearer than the Hong Kong side. At the end of this road, the Long Harbor Pier has a local ferries service linking this fjord to the waters of a very pure blue to Tap Mun, a small island inhabited by a few fishermen where traffic is prohibited. The ferries that serve the port of Tolo also go to Long Harbor and Tap Mun. They allow access to the High Island Dam Lake with various sections of the Mac Lehose hiking trail. The beautiful bays with fine sand seem to invite you to swim. However, we have to observe some caution, and tides are extremely strong.
