Sai Kung Town in Hong Kong HONG KONG hong-kong. sai-kung-town Informations and links Sai Kung Town  Map Sai Kung Town Photos Sai Kung Town ------------------------------- Sai Kung Town is a town on Sai Kung Peninsula, facing the Sai Kung Hoi (Inner Port Shelter) in the New Territories, Hong Kong. It is the centre of the surrounding villages; thus, Sai Kung may also refer to the areas in its immediate surroundings. It is part of the Sai Kung District. The town evolved from fishing villages. It is now a mecca for seafood lovers, locals and tourists alike. Visitors can stroll around the market centre of Sai Kung Town or explore the back lanes, visit the Tin Hau Temple, feast on seafood or enjoy different delicacies at Western-style pubs and restaurants. There is also a famous dessert restaurant called Honeymoon Dessert that brings in many visitors from all over Hong Kong and even from abroad. Sai Kung Hoi is a good harbour and fishermen gather there. There is a typhoon shelter in the harbour protecting a marina, where some of the last remaining Tanka junks in Hong Kong are to be found. Many of these boats are now abandoned as homes with their former residents moving to land but they are still kept as pleasure boats by their owners. The are boats that you can hire for cuttlefish catching trips. A typical trip would last 3-hours, costing perhaps HKD500 for a group of five. In Hong Kong terms, the development of the town has been remarkably restrained. There are few condominium tower blocks that rise above ten storeys. Before the relocation of the airport of Hong Kong from Kai Tak to Chep Lap Kok, the town was a popular residential area for airport staff from all over the world. The town, with its relatively clean air and slow pace of life, for Hong Kong, is still a popular place for many people of Hong Kong to live during their retirement. Most of public transport on the Sai Kung Peninsula start and stop at the bus and minibus terminus in the town. Ferry service is available to the outlying islands and isolated coastal villages in the Sai Kung Hoi. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Occupied by the UK in 1841, Hong Kong was formally ceded by China the following year; various adjacent lands were added later in the 19th century. Pursuant to an agreement signed by China and the UK on 19 December 1984, Hong Kong became the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China on 1 July 1997. In this agreement, China has promised that, under its "one country, two systems" formula, China's socialist economic system will not be imposed on Hong Kong and that Hong Kong will enjoy a high degree of autonomy in all matters except foreign and defense affairs for the next 50 years..
