Crooked Island

Kat O and Ap Chau to the west are Hong Kong's eco-tourism destinations, overlooking Shenzhen's Yantian Container Terminal. The ancestors of the villagers moved south since the end of the Ming Dynasty, passing through Longgang (in the area of today's Longgang District, Shenzhen), Yantian (Hakka place, by the North Sea in Shatoujiao, Shenzhen), Xinhui (in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, about the middle and late 19th century to escape the Pearl River) The local people in the western delta moved to Ji'ao Island, Shatoujiao, Bao'an under the influence of fighting, and moved to Ji'ao Island in today's morning. The 1950s and 1960s were the heyday of fishermen's residence. At that time, there were about 10,000 people living together. Later, many of them went to Hong Kong, Kowloon or overseas to make a living. In 1983, the Ji'ao people who traveled abroad set up the Ojiao Association in the United Kingdom. There are chapters in Scotland and Ireland. The island is located on the border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Although it is not within the restricted area, the only boats to and from the island need to land at the Sha Tau Kok Pier in the restricted area of Hong Kong. Locally charter a boat and head straight to the island for a short layover. There is a Geological Education Center in Kat O, which displays fossil replicas from different periods. The rock samples are not blocked by glass boxes or fences, so you can experience the touch of rocks by yourself. The Tianhou bridal sedan chairs and costumes donated by the villagers in Kat O are also very precious.
