Sai Kung: Sai Kung Marine Police Base
Port Shelter defines the setting of Sai Kung Marine Police Base — this protected stretch of water divides into island-lined channels between the Sai Kung Peninsula and the South China Sea. Sai Kung developed from coastal fishing and farming settlements, and its waterfront remains closely associated with fishing boats, public piers and seafood restaurants. The base forms part of Hong Kong’s working maritime infrastructure, while low islands and wooded shores shape the approaches by water. Beyond the town, the Sai Kung Peninsula contains extensive country-park land, and its volcanic rock landscapes form part of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark. Maritime services and rugged coastal terrain give this district a character distinct from Hong Kong’s dense urban core.

Few places in Hong Kong have a history as closely tied to fishing as Sai Kung. Set beside Sai Kung Hoi and Port Shelter, the town developed around a sheltered harbour and still has a working waterfront, seafood restaurants and boats serving nearby islands. Beyond the town, the Sai Kung Peninsula leads into the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark, where High Island's coast exposes hexagonal volcanic rock columns. Yim Tin Tsai in Sai Kung Hoi preserves salt pans and St Joseph’s Chapel, reminders of its former Hakka settlement.
