Dog Island

I did not know until recently that the island you can see from the Sai Kung boardwalk is where all the stray dogs are sent - and where all the puppies (for sale in front of SK taxi stand on weekends) are collected. Apparently people drop food off on the island for the dogs, and they are allowed to roam free. Thoughtful and caring way of dealing with strays? Jury is out.

Pollution

When you can't see the islands off the shore, or the hills behind the hills in Sai Kung, you know the pollution level is TOO HIGH. So here's a site to check-out, that will make you (a) happy you are not living in Central, and (b) sad you are not living in the Australian outback.
