In the eastern part of the New Territories, the peninsula of Sai Kung has been designated a prime recreational area. It is a popular destination for walkers, picnickers, swimmers and yachtsmen.
Sai Kung Town began its development as a market place about a hundred years ago when the area became a convenient gathering place for fishermen and villagers. Nowadays, Sai Kung Town is a mecca for seafood lovers, locals and tourist alike. On summer nights, a lot of people hire Kaitos or Sampan to catch cuttle-fish, a popular pastime for local residents.
