🛳️ 【Wong Shek Pier （黃石 碼頭）】 is a major public pier situated at Wong Shek in the northern part of the Sai Kung Peninsula within the Tai Po District, New Territories, Hong Kong. Although administratively under the Tai Po District, it is closely linked to Sai Kung Town Centre in terms of geography and transportation. Backed by the Wong Shek Family Trail and Country Park, and facing the picturesque Cheam Chuk Wan and Tai Tan Channel, the pier mainly provides scheduled Kaito Ferry services to remote Sai Kung islands and villages like Tap Mun, Ko Lau Wan, and Chek Keng. It is also a popular holiday destination for water sports, picnicking, barbecuing, and stargazing. —
