Cape of Sha Tau Kok 沙頭角之角, Sha Tau Kok 沙頭角, New Territories, Hong Kong

Cape of Sha Tau Kok

At the easternmost corner of Sha Tau Kok stands an old signpost that says ‘Cape of Sha Tau Kok’, along with its coordinates. In front of it, you will find a stone plaque bearing two poetic lines: ‘the sun rises from the beach (Sha Tau), / the moon hangs above the cape (Kok).’ 日出沙頭，月懸海角. Legend has it that these verses were written by a Qing dynasty minister, who was captivated by the picturesque scenery during his inspection visit to the coast of Guangdong. Since then, the area has been known as ‘Sha Tau Kok’. Enjoy the panoramic view of the natural coastline of Starling Inlet, where you can simply relax and listen to the soothing sea waves. Time appears to halt, just as it did for the poet, when he was moved by the magnificent scenery.
