How it's used
Refers specifically to a remote village and marine park in the Sai Kung Peninsula known for its coral communities. It is primarily a destination for outdoor activities like snorkeling and hiking rather than a residential or commercial hub. Access is limited, typically requiring a minibus from Sai Kung town, which makes it feel much more secluded than other parts of the New Territories.
Examples
We are going to Hoi Ha to go kayaking tomorrow.
