Sai Kung East Country Park Essentials

Sai Kung East Country Park encompasses the eastern edge of the Sai Kung Peninsula, featuring the High Island Reservoir and segments of the UNESCO Global Geopark. The landscape is defined by 140-million-year-old hexagonal volcanic rock columns and the pristine white-sand beaches of Tai Long Wan. Hikers utilize the first two sections of the MacLehose Trail to access the 468-meter Sharp Peak and secluded bays. Cultural highlights include the Sheung Yiu Folk Museum, a preserved 19th-century Hakka walled village.
