It’s also growing in popularity recently as a seafood center. In terms of Tseung Kwan O, it’s one of Hong Kong’s latest and most fast developing master-planned communities. The Sai Kung District Council began to establish a “Tseung Kwan O – Healthy City” job in collaboration with numerous voluntary organizations in 1999 to arouse social concern over healthy living and also to assemble Tseung Kwan O into a health city, a perfect location to reside and work in.
