Written by South China Morning Post (Morning Studio)
The huge land and sea area of the Sai Kung Peninsula is known for its spectacular rolling hills and country parks, uninhabited islands, white-sand beaches and breathtaking coastline, including towering cliffs featuring hexagonal volcanic rock columns, sea caves and arches. These geo-heritage delights can best be admired from the sea while taking a half-day boat trip from the coastal town of Sai Kung.
Located in the eastern part of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark comprises two geological regions within its single, unified boundary: the Sai Kung Volcanic Rock Region and the Northeast New Territories Sedimentary Rock Region. Two separate clusters of islands and islets, Ung Kong Group and Ninepin Group, featuring globally rare hexagonal rock columns — Formed as the mixture of volcanic ash and lava cooled following a supervolcano eruption 140 million years ago — lie within the Geopark’s Sai Kung Volcanic Rock Region in Hong Kong’s southeastern waters, and they are not to be missed.
Feature Stories
Refuel
Make sure you take enough drinking water and snacks with you on the boat trip as High Island is the only stop that provides the chance to refuel. It features a farm breeding sea urchins and a village store serving the delicacy with fried rice, plus other seafood and traditional dishes, next to the Tin Hau temple at Tung A Village Pier.
Transport
Getting to Sai Kung Town Centre:
Take any public transport to Sai Kung Town Centre (for instance, bus 92 from MTR Diamond Hill Station or bus 299X from Sha Tin Central Bus Terminus). You will find the Volcano Discovery Centre at Sai Kung Waterfront Park, next to the Sai Kung Bus Terminus.
Leaving from Sai Kung Town Centre:
After being dropped off at Sai Kung Town, you can take any of the same buses and minibuses to travel back to the city centre.
Local Tour
To visit the Geopark, you can charter a boat or join one of the guided boat tours. There is a list of Recommended Geopark Guides and Accredited Geopark Guides on the Geopark’s official website. A few of the recommended local operators provide regular group tours to Ung Kong and Ninepin Islands.
