What really happened to the missing hikers that mysteriously disappeared at Sai Kung? Did they simply get lost and die in the dense jungle? Or could it be that there really is something of a mystic realm that leads to another dimension there?

Sai Kung is a popular place for hikers to enjoy nature away from the bustling urban life. There is however a dark side to this as many hikers are said to have disappeared from what has been called, this mystic realm or the Sai Kung Barrier 西貢結界.

This mysterious realm is also located at a popular hiking area at the Sai Kung Peninsula 西貢半島, on the outskirts of Hong Kong.

People speculate as to what this is caused by, and some claim that the place is an entrance to a parallel timeline or something of another dimension.

The Missing Police Officer

One of the more popular stories that are connected to this urban legend is the story about a missing police officer. The story got so famous they even made a movie based on it.

One day in 2005, a police officer was out hiking on his day off close to Pak Tam Chung and got lost. He called 999 for help as he knew precisely how it was done, working in the police force himself.

He gave his coordinates to the dispatchers, but they were unable to locate them. The conversation was strange and somewhat halted. They did send out rescuers, but to this day, he has never been found.

The Dead Boy Scout Leader

Just a month later there was another strange case that would happen in the area. Four hikers set out from Cheung Shand and went through Shek Uk Shan, Nam Shan Yung and Pak Sha O.

They stopped to rest close to where the missing police officer had disappeared just a month before. One of the hikers was a 23 year old experienced Boy Scout leader. He felt sick and asked the three women he was hiking with to go on without him.

Two days later his body was found by the police.

The Missing Bus Driver

Fast forward to 2009 there was another strange thing that happened in the mountain. A bus driver went missing in Sai Kung, but his belongings were found. His family called his cellphone and a fisherman answered it and said he had found it while he was fishing in the deep blue sea.

The bus driver became one of those who were never found again.

The Missing Hiker

In 2011 999 received a phone call near Pak Tam from someone asking for help, but the phone call was mysteriously strange, just as the police officers had been years before.

They couldn’t find the missing man this time either.

Found hikers that ended up dead were also discovered in 2019 and 2020 and 2021. It is after all a popular hiking area.

What Really Happened at Sai Kung

These mysterious disappearances have caused major speculations over the years. People disappearing out in the wild is perhaps not as uncommon as we want it to be, especially not in a jungle as dense as it is here with many places to go off parth, but so many over the years? What is it about this place?

A common denominator about these cases is that they were in the far northeast of Sai Kung, and whether it is a portal to another dimension or a huge python snake that got to the disappeared hikers, or even bad Feng Shui in the area that makes it haunted, you should always thread carefully and never off the path.
