Kau Sai Chau is the largest island in Sai Kung and falls within the geological scope of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark. A public golf course is located at the northern end of the island, while at the southern end lies a small village\u2014Kau Sai Fishermen Village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kau Sai Village used to be a Hakka settlement. But since the village lied in the Port Shelter Firing Range, the Hakka villagers were relocated to the new Kau Sai San Tsuen in Pak Sha Wan, Sai Kung Peninsula. Later on the government moved the firing range to the area around Basalt Island, so fishermen who had been fishing and mooring their boats in the waters near the southern part of Kau Sai Chau moved ashore, forming the current Kau Sai Fishermen Village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is said that the Hung Shing Temple on the island (now a declared monument) was built with funds raised by villagers who once made their living from fishing to pray for divine protection. The birthday of Hung Shing is a major event on the island, with villagers joining hands to organise a series of celebratory activities.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":745,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"translation_content_en":"\n
