Antiquity
Tung Ping Chau: explore astonishing geological wonders of Hong Kong's most remote island
Written by South China Morning Post (Morning Studio)
A ferry ride across Mirs Bay takes you to Hong Kong’s easternmost island of Tung Ping Chau, which forms the tip of a unique geological formation that is part of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark. Here, the sea and time have carved and moulded rocks into other-worldly shapes and precise geometric patterns, a temple stands beside buildings devoured by trees, and turquoise waters shelter dozens of coral species. After centuries of habitation, the island’s unique heritage is enticing visitors back to marvel at its many natural wonders.
Refuel
A few village stores in Tai Tong and Sha Tau villages sell soft drinks, bottled water and beer, but they open only at weekends and on public holidays. So, carry enough drinking water and food as the opening of the village stores and their supplies are not guaranteed.
Transport
Getting to Tung Ping Chau
From MTR University Station, take bus 272K and get off at the first stop at Ma Liu Shui Public Pier for the ferry to Tung Ping Chau; or you can take a five-minute taxi ride from the station to the pier. Ferries operate only on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. The ferry takes about 1.5 hours.
Leaving from Tung Ping Chau
Take the same ferry back to Ma Liu Shui Public Pier and then bus 272K or a taxi back to MTR University Station.
