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.
