Big Wave Bay

Big Wave Bay

Dalang Bay is a large bay in Hong Kong. It is located in the east of Sai Kung Peninsula in the new territories, facing the South China Sea. It is mainly composed of four bays, namely, Sai Wan, ham tin Wan, Tai Wan and Tung Wan. It is also known as one of the "four wonders" of Hong Kong.

brief introduction

Big Wave Bay refers to big wave Bay in Sai Kung, new territories. Located in Sai Kung country park, it is a good place for windsurfing. The sea area here is open and the wind is strong, so that a wide beach and many small bays are formed (Dalang bay includes four bays, namely East Bay, Dawan Bay, Xiantian Bay and Dalang West Bay). Dalangwan is an excellent beach tourist destination, where the beach surface is wide, the sand is fine and soft, the sea water is clean, and the waves are turbulent, which are unmatched by other beaches. In the south of dalangwan, there is a bay named langqia Bay, which is adjacent to Wanyi reservoir in the West. The bay is deep and concave. The bay is large and narrow. The headlands on both sides face each other, resisting the wind and waves from the open sea into the bay. Therefore, langqia Bay is calm and quiet, which is suitable for ordinary tourists to take a sea bath.

geographical position

Sai Kung is located on the Sai Kung Peninsula in the east of the new territories. A small street runs through it and winds along the coast. The street is narrow and long, about 1km long. In the middle of the street, there is a carved archway, which is regarded as the landmark of Saigon center. There are many waterfront restaurants on the street. They are famous for cooking seafood. These restaurants are simple and traditional. At first glance, they look more like the big stalls of Hong Kong's early years. However, it is these small restaurants, which are not surprising, that herald the beginning of a delicious journey.

Sai Kung is located in the eastern part of the new territories, with beautiful scenery. Many local people like to spend their weekends here. The best way to enjoy the scenery here is to hire a small boat and take a boat around the island (about HK $150). You can also walk on the beach or go hiking. On weekends and holidays, young people and families come in an endless stream. Saigon street is small in scale. You can see rows of live fish shops like rickets aquarium in the market street along the coastline. There are huge colorful lobsters, crabs, shellfish and fish. You can also choose what you want to eat and bring a seafood dish to the restaurant. We often see European and American guests drinking wine and eating seafood here. In addition, there are more and more modern restaurants and bars. After a walk on the beach and a day in the sun, you can eat in a nearby restaurant.

Beyond the city center is the area of country parks and beaches. Tourists can engage in leisure activities such as sea activities, hiking, or eating seafood. If they have money, they can rent yachts. You can spend a romantic day with your favorite partner, watch the sunrise and sunset on the clear blue waves, and experience an alternative Hong Kong. It's also good to take a sampan out to sea and cruise the small islands.

Historical evolution

Saigon has been a business center for nearby guests since hundreds of years ago. The narrow streets and roads are like a labyrinth, retaining a strong look of the past.

In the 1960s, the construction of Wanyi reservoir in the east of Saigon, which was once a small fishing village, led to the migration of people living on the water and a huge increase in the population. It became a popular holiday spot for Hong Kong people.

Another name

Sai Kung, also known as Sai Kung market, is located in the Sai Kung peninsula of Sai Kung District in the east of the new territories of Hong Kong. Facing the Sai Kung sea, it has a pleasant scenery and is known as "the back garden of Hong Kong". As Saigon is located in the center of each village, the nearby area is also called "Saigon".

Natural climate

In terms of climate, Hong Kong is located in the subtropical zone of the northern hemisphere, with its back to the Eurasian continent and facing the Pacific Ocean, forming a marine subtropical monsoon climate with four distinct seasons. At the end of each year, the high pressure accumulated in Siberia blows dry and cold air to the low pressure Pacific Ocean, becoming the winter monsoon in Hong Kong. In the middle of the year, high pressure was formed in the Pacific Ocean, and this summer monsoon was blowing towards Eurasia, bringing rainy and humid summer to Hong Kong. In short, spring is from March to April every year, with mild and humid climate, fog and low visibility. May to August is summer, the temperature is hot, humid and the rainfall is high. September to October is autumn, generally cool and sunny. Summer and autumn are typhoon seasons. Hong Kong is hit by tropical cyclones. November to February of the next year is winter, cool and dry, with occasional frost on the highlands.

In addition, the high-rise buildings in the urban area of Hong Kong are concentrated and densely populated, and the microclimate is easy to produce heat island effect, resulting in obvious temperature difference between the urban and suburban areas. Urban areas with high population density also make it difficult to disperse suspended particles in the air. The hot and hazy days in the urban area of Hong Kong are becoming longer and longer.

economic development

Big Wave Bay is located in the new territories, an important area of Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a free-market capitalist economy. The focus of its economy is the laissez faire policy implemented by the government. Milton Fleming, an economist and Nobel laureate, regards Hong Kong as a model of laissez faire economy. Even though the government announced on September 11, 2006 that the "positive non intervention" policy initiated by Hong Kong is no longer applicable and "a long time ago", the government's economic policy philosophy is to let market forces dominate the economy and avoid manipulating or guiding market development. Many economists believe that Hong Kong is a market economy operator because of its streamlined business regulation, clean and efficient government, low tax rate, simple tax system, sound legal system, firm concept of property rights and stable currency. Hong Kong's economy is well-known for its freedom and openness. Since 1995, the Heritage Foundation of the United States and the Fraser Institute of Canada have published reports on the free economic system, which have consistently ranked Hong Kong as the first in the world. Together with its excellent geographical location, information flow, efficient supporting facilities and services, it has contributed to the economy of Hong Kong. After the handover of sovereignty in 1997, Hong Kong's economic development has experienced many twists and turns. From the end of 1997 to the beginning of 1998, the bubble in the property market and stock market (see: economic bubble) burst, and the consumption intention of the market was affected. In 1998, the Asian financial crisis hit Hong Kong. In August, international speculators attacked the Hong Kong dollar, futures market and stock market. On the 14th, the government decided to invest an unprecedented amount of money to intervene in the market, which caused great controversy. Together with the reduction of demand in the region caused by the Asian financial crisis, the economy showed negative growth throughout the year, with GDP falling by 5.1%. In 1999, the government gradually sold its shares in the form of TraHK. Hongkong's economy showed signs of short-term recovery. But in 2001, the US economic downturn dragged the external environment, coupled with the 911 incident against Tourism and the bursting of the Internet bubble. GDP growth in that year plunged to 0.1%. After a slight recovery in 2002, SARS broke out in the middle of March 2003. On April 2, the World Health Organization issued a tourism warning, which severely damaged the tourism industry and severely hit the public's consumption desire. In April, the government spent HK $11.8 billion to relieve the epidemic. On June 15, it announced that it would spend another HK $715 million to provide more than 30000 short-term jobs and training places. Finally, Hong Kong was removed from the list of epidemic areas on June 23. Since then, Hongkong's economy has been showing signs of recovery. In July 28th, the first personal travel plan was launched to simplify the procedures for Chinese mainland residents to apply for visit to Hong Kong and stimulate tourism development. Coupled with the weakening of the US dollar, the Hong Kong dollar, which is linked to it, appears to be more competitive in the international market, benefiting the performance of Hong Kong's exports. In the policy address of the same year (see: Hong Kong Policy Address), the government further established finance, logistics, tourism (see: Hong Kong Tourism) and industrial and commercial support services as the four pillar industries of Hong Kong's economy, and hoped to develop them. Since then, the momentum of economic growth has become increasingly strong. On December 28, 2006, the Hang Seng index broke through 20000 points for the first time, and the transaction on that day reached 54.2 billion yuan.

Dalang Bay in Hong Kong has a very long natural coast, which is full of steep cliffs and rocky outcrops. On the other hand, many sunken water bays and sandy beaches along the coast constitute a veritable "O", such as Dalang Bay, which is far away from the hustle and bustle. Big Wave Bay lies under the Shiao mountains on the peninsula in the east of Hong Kong Island. At the end of the bay is the beautiful and lonely Shiao beach. The island wufenzhou in front of the bay is like a screen. This big wave Bay in Shiao is famous for its huge surge, which directly contains the wind and waves from the South China Sea. It's a rare trip for Hong Kong people to come here. The team of more than ten old people they see is actually a one-day tour activity of the local community. However, when the typhoon hit Hong Kong, it became a hot spot for young people to chase the wind and waves.

After all, Hong Kong is not a big city. After changing the subway to Shau Kei Wan, you can change to double decker bus No. 9 or minibus, then go along Hong Kong Island via Tai Tam gorge, Ma Tang Ao and Nao Dian Cha country trail, and then go down to big wave Bay. However, the crowded and noisy shopping malls in Mong Kok, the trams in dingdingdangdang, central, and the tide of tourists in Causeway Bay are all out of the mountain. It's really a pleasure to travel on the empty mountain path and in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

When you go down from Naodian to dalangwan, you will be amazed by the spectacular scenery of sea caves. In the tuff rocks, the joints are arranged in different directions, and the fracture surfaces are massive, columnar and forked. These joints gradually form sea erosion caves or crevices due to the washing and infiltration of tropical rain and storm waves
