About Sai Kung
The waterfront combines small-boat activity with seafood restaurants and display tanks, while the older streets behind contain everyday shops and newer cafes. Off Po Tung Road, the Tin Hau Temple complex preserves an early twentieth-century facade associated with the town’s seafaring community. Keep a town visit distinct from an island trip: each boat destination needs its own departure point, return arrangement and weather check.
What to look for
- The waterfront shows fishing and passenger-boat activity beside seafood tanks.
- The Tin Hau Temple complex retains its older facade just off Po Tung Road.
