Tung Ping Chau (Chinese: 東平洲) is an offshore island located in the northeast corner of Hong Kong. The island has an area of 1.16 km², it is the most easterly point of the Hong Kong territory. Choumeizai will talk about Lung Lok Shui (龍落水) on Tung Ping Chau.
Lung Lok Shui, literally means ‘Dragon Descend into Water’ in Chinese, is located on the southwestern coast of Tung Ping Chau, one of the notable rock formations on the island.
Lung Lok Shui is a zigzag layer of white siliceous rock, resembling the spine of a dragon entering the sea.
The scenery around Lung Lok Shui is beautiful, but the wind and waves are very strong, and the rocks by the sea are wet and smooth, so be cautious when going around.
From the height, you can enjoy the beauty and splendor of the coast of Tung Ping Chau. However, the rocks are relatively soft, so be careful when climbing up.
Tung Ping Chau has been included as a part of the Global Geopark by UNESCO in Hong Kong. The unique rock formations caused by the erosion of sea water makes it a popular tourist destination.
The rocks on Tung Ping Chau are fine laminated sedimentary rocks, formed from cementation of silt and mud that deposited in a saline lake some 55 million years ago.
The rocks on Tung Ping Chau are beautiful as natural works of art. However, since Tung Ping Chau is part of the Geopark, no one is allowed to take away any stone from the island.
