Sai Kung boasts the longest stretch of coastline in Hong Kong, and the most numerous outlying islands. Some islands are unique in natural scenery that they adorn the sea like luminous pearls. Others feature extraordinary rugged profiles and rear up abruptly from the water.
Sai Kung is a unique region of imposing rich geodiversity. These famous geosites include the magnificent sea stacks, the breathtaking tubular rock columns and sea caves, the typical coastal terrain, rare acidic hexagonal volcanic rock columns of High Island, and rhyolite on Sharp Island.
