Description
Want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and explore Hong Kong’s hidden natural and cultural treasures? Join our “Sai Kung Island Hopping Day Tour: Yim Tin Tsai × Sharp Island” and discover the fascinating scenery of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark!
Yim Tin Tsai, a tranquil island, is renowned for its unique blend of Hakka and Catholic cultures. Its salt pans and the St. Joseph's Chapel have both received UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation and Sustainable Development, highlighting the island's remarkable achievements in preservation and cultural continuity. Take a stroll around the island and immerse yourself in its rich history and traditional village life.
Sharp Island, in contrast, captivates visitors with its striking volcanic crater landscape, showcasing geological wonders formed over 140 million years ago by a colossal volcanic eruption. Combined with the tombolo (a sandbar linking two islands) and the unique "Pineapple Bun Rocks," it offers a firsthand insight into the incredible forces of nature.
This journey combines culture, history, and natural landscapes—an exploration not to be missed!
