"Dark, damp and more than a little bit creepy... Cheung Po Tsai Cave is exactly how you’d imagine a pirate’s secret lair. A visit is less about seeing a specific landmark (after all, it’s pretty dark down there) and more about understanding the mystery surrounding the site. The cave was named for notorious pirate Cheung Po Tsai (“Cheung Po the Kid”), considered the Robin Hood of Hong Kong, who is thought to have stashed his loot here. In his prime, the 19th-century pirate supposedly controlled 600 ships and built several temples along the coastline for the villagers." - Kate Springer
