Where to stay in Sai Kung District
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Beds in Sai Kung District cluster at two poles. Sai Kung Town held the district's administrative centre before the Sai Kung District Office moved to Tseung Kwan O, and those two ends still split the choice between the older town and the newer blocks. Between them the Clear Water Bay Peninsula runs quiet, with the district's islands and the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark beyond.

About Sai Kung District
What are the main landmarks in Sai Kung District?
The district's set pieces are geological. The Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark sits inside Sai Kung District, and the same ground that carries it has kept enough natural scenery for Sai Kung to be called the back garden of Hong Kong. Over 70 islands lie off it.
Sai Kung Town stands as the older of the district's two centres, and the rural villages around it still hold traditional customs and cultures.
What is the history of Sai Kung District?
The office left the old centre. Sai Kung Town served as the district's administrative centre until the Sai Kung District Office was moved to Tseung Kwan O, the built-up end where most of the district's housing stands. Rural villages held on.
One boundary gathers the southern half of the Sai Kung Peninsula, the Clear Water Bay Peninsula in the New Territories and a strip of land east of Kowloon, three pieces of ground that share little beyond the district line.
Where is Sai Kung District?
Sai Kung District covers about 136 square kilometres, from the Clear Water Bay Peninsula to the villages and islands of the Sai Kung Peninsula.
