Kat O (吉澳, Crooked
Island, Kat O Chau, Kat O Island, not Kato) is an island of Hong Kong
located at the north-east of the territory. It is very close to the
Mainland China and from Kat O, we can overlook Yantian
of Shen Zhen, PRC. The island is in the shape of reversed 'Z'. In
1950s, there were about 4,000 inhabitants on the island. There are not
too many inhabitants now.
From Kat O, we can overlook Yantian of Shenzhen, the container port.
Basically there is no commercial activity on the island.
There
are a Chinese restaurant serving group meals to tourists, and several
stores selling soft drinks, snacks and dried seafood.
Kat O Square
On the island, there is a Tin Hau Temple.
It should have been newly renovated not long before (maybe, several years before).
There is fish farming near the shore.
For
city dwellers like us, Kat O is of course a very nice place to visit,
to experience the life of a small island, to see the structure of old
houses (of more than 40 years history), and to escape from the hustle
and bustle of city life.
This
is a complimentary dumpling. The surface is made from flour and a green
plant juice. The stuffing is sweetened red bean paste.
