Pak Sha Wan
Characteristic
Pak Sha Wan is a natural haven with lots of pleasure boats and yachts anchored there. Since Port Shelter has developed into a popular place for water sports, Pak Sha Wan becomes its base. The sea between Pak Sha Wan and Port Shelter is dotted with pleasure boats and yachts in summertime. It is really a magnificent sight with all their sails hoisted and heading toward Port Shelter. There is also a small Kwun Yam Temple in Pak Sha Wan.
