Hi, my name is Nam and I’ve been living 20 minutes from Sai Kung since I was 9. I spent a lot of my life before 2015 studying in the UK, graduating with a MSci of Geology and an appreciation to mountains and nature.

I moved back to Hong Kong after graduation and have been discovering Sai Kung, the most beautiful ‘back garden’ of Hong Kong. It is arguably the prettiest region in the whole of Hong Kong and I spend almost every weekend going to pristine beaches, on stunning hikes, and visiting hidden islands. While I’ve been writing all about Hong Kong’s many nature spots on my blog, I realise that I want to dig deeper and make a comprehensive guide for people who want to go deeper, too.

The whole thing took longer than I thought but I’m so excited to share 36+ islands, beaches, and routes in this guide. And I’ll strive to add to it as I explore my turf some more.

Sai Kung not only has a Geological Park with hexagonal columns, it is also a marine park with the best water quality in the whole of Hong Kong. Because it cannot be reached by MTR or rails, and many areas have restricted access, it means that it is less polluted and developed. It is also the start of the MacLehose Trail, which spans over 100 km in Hong Kong. But there are also many trails that are lesser known, some I haven’t even covered on my blog!

 

Note: this is an eguide and will be available for download immediately after purchase
