Across the shimmering waters of Port Shelter, Kiu Tsui Pai stands sentinel. Kiu Tsui Pai isn’t just a lighthouse. It’s a beacon marking the edge of Kiu Tsui Country Park, a haven encompassing Sharp Island and seven smaller jewels. This park, though Hong Kong’s smallest island country park, boasts a rich tapestry of nature and history. Established in 1979, Kiu Tsui Country Park protects 100 hectares of land and sea. Kiu Tsui Pai’s light sweeps across the waters, guiding boats away from the rocky shores and towards the popular Hap Mun Bay. Imagine the soft, white sand between your toes as you walk across the tombolo to Kiu Tau at low tide. This sandy bridge, a fleeting connection between Sharp Island and its smaller neighbor, is a testament to the power of the sea. Kiu Tsui Pai also watches over Kiu Tsui Beach, a tranquil alternative to the bustling Hap Mun Bay. The surrounding woodlands offer shade and respite from the summer sun, a perfect spot for a barbecue. From the summit of Sharp Island, reachable by a challenging hiking trail, you can see Kiu Tsui Pai’s watchful beam. The panoramic view stretches across the coast, a reward for your efforts. Kiu Tsui Pai silently observes the diverse ecosystem it protects. Camphor trees, banyans, and rose myrtles thrive on Sharp Island, home to a variety of birds. The surrounding waters boast vibrant coral reefs. Kiu Tsui Pai stands as a symbol of preservation amidst the bustling waters, a reminder of the beauty and fragility of this island sanctuary.
