Brief Introduction
The islands that rise up from the waters off Sai Kung form a dramatic setting to the eastern shores of Hong Kong. Seen by relatively few people close up, they are the often-seen – and always remembered – backdrop to views off the surrounding Sai Kung hills and coasts.
Seen close up, as they are revealed in this book, the Sai Kung islands have some of Hong Kong’s most striking landforms. Indeed, anywhere in the world their rugged outlines, and jagged details, would command respect. Except for a few isolated village communities, the islands are all but uninhabited, so adding to their natural charm.
