Sai Kung Country Park

First impressions of the area are that Sai Kung town is not unlike Bedford. There are about 30,000 people, with a town centre and suburb areas. SK town has everything you might need - supermarkets, swimming pool, library etc. The road to SK from Kowloon is a bit like the A5 in Wales, windy, green and mountainous.

Here is a HK map which shows the location of the main island, Kowloon, where I will work and Sai Kung in the east.

Once through SK you go further out to the country park. This road is windy and there were cows on the roads when I visited. In fact, my ears popped as we went up and down the side of a mountain. It is hard to explain how stunningly beautiful the area is. If you can imagine a warm Snowdonia that might cover it. It is surrounded by trees and the road is cut through.


This map ^ shows the country park in Sai Kung, you can see the large area to the east. The house I saw is close to the "Hike 4" on the picture.
