20 Watery Wonders Exploring The Aquatic Of HK

#1 Go Geopark Exploring

HK has a surprise at every turn, and if you’venot been out to see the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark, you’re in for a pleasant one. Opened in November 2009, and comprising eight major geological sites of international stature, the park can be explored by boat or, for the more adventurous, via a walking tour. geopark.gov.hk

#2 Dive into the Depths

Thanks to a strict limit on permits for fishing inMarine Parks in the New Territories, you can find an abundance of coral and fish species in these waters, from clownfish to barracuda. The South China Diving Club organises training and guided dives throughout the year. scdc.org.hk#3

#3 Take the Right Tack

Hong Kong is a dream posting for anyone who lovesyachts. The territory has numerous sailing clubs ranging from the historical and prestigious Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club in Causeway Bay to the lesser-known Hong Kong Hobie Club on To Tei Wan beach, facing Tai Tam Bay. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department also offers sailing courses at five public watersports centres. rhkyc.org.hk | hobieclub.org.hk | lcsd.gov.hk

#4 Dine by the Water

If you’re hungry rather than hankering for ahike, head out to some of the villages on the outlying islands and indulge in a seafood feast! You’ll find heaps of options on Lamma, Cheung Chau and Lantau. Our go-tos differ every visit, but you can’t go past a simple wok-fried fish of the day, and maybe some clams in black bean and garlic – yum!
