Visit Hong Kong's Still Water Beauty: Double Haven

Double Haven is a serene, picturesque natural harbor of Hong Kong. It is affectionately known as Little Xihu and Little Guilin by the locals. When the lands became submerged in rising glacial waters, it was formed more than 12000 years ago.

To one of the last well preserved traditional Hakka walled villages, the Double Haven region is also home.

Because of the calmness of its waters which did not change even in stormy weather and from the Englishmen who controlled the city the harbor earned its name. To arrive at Double Haven by boat or hiking trail from the city you will find it fairly easy during your luxury Hong Kong private tours.

To keep the waves of the sea from moving around rapidly into the harbor, Double Haven is ringed in by three medium sized islands that form a perfect little pocket of water. The beautiful rock formations found around the haven makes wonderful patterns all around the islands and is varied in age, color and shape.
