Sai Kung District, Administrative district in New Territories, Hong Kong

Sai Kung District covers 130 square kilometers along the southeastern coast of Hong Kong, featuring over 70 islands and extensive natural landscapes.

The district evolved from fishing villages to become a major residential area after 1950, with the development of Tseung Kwan O New Town.

Local markets and fishing communities maintain traditional practices, with fresh seafood vendors displaying their catches directly from boats at the waterfront.

The district connects to central Hong Kong through the MTR system at Tseung Kwan O and numerous bus routes serving both urban and rural areas.

The Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark within the district displays hexagonal rock columns and other geological formations formed by ancient volcanic activity.
