The Agriculture, Fisheries & Conservation Department today opened the Kat O Heritage Trail in collaboration with Kat O village to mark the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark.
In addition to further promoting Kat O’s history, culture and intangible cultural heritage, the trail offers an in-depth travel experience to visitors.
Located in northeastern New Territories waters, Kat O is a harmonious community built by fishermen and Hakkas hand in hand.
The trail, with 27 interpretation panels along the route, was planned on the existing footpath and connects many important historical and cultural relics.
Visitors may explore an old Chinese restaurant and grocery store on Kat O Main Street, walk past old banyan trees where villagers used to take a rest or stop by a former pig farm and outdoor cinema.
A more in-depth understanding of Kat O’s long history is warranted by a visit to Kat O Tin Hau Temple and Sai O Hexagonal Well.
Visitors may also enjoy the fascinating scenery of the Double Haven from Ko Tei Teng and Ko Pang Teng along the trail.
They can read the text introduction or scan the QR code on the panels and log in to the audio guide webpage to listen to stories about the island.
The webpage also features historical photos and information on all the interpretation panels for visitors.
