FeaturesWu Kai Sha is famous for a campsite, Wu Kai Sha Youth Village of YMCA. There is also a beach near the Wu Kai Sha Youth Village. TransportBefore the area was developed, there existed only rough roads to the area. Many residents and visitors took kai to boats from Ma Liu Shui, near the MTR University Station, across Tolo Harbour to the area. With the extension of the new town to the northwestern side of Ma On Shan, roads were extended and expanded. Sai Sha Road is an alternative route to Sai Kung.
