Tung Ping Chau
东平洲
Hong Kong's easternmost island, where layered sedimentary rock and wave-cut platforms form part of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark.
Tung Ping Chau lies in Mirs Bay, close to Shenzhen. It is part of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark. The island's siltstone layers look like a thin mille-feuille. Along the shore you can see strange rock formations such as Lung Lok Shui, Kan Lau Shek and Zhanjingzhou, as well as broad wave-cut platforms. Very few people live on the island, and there are almost no shops. Ferries run only on weekends and public holidays, leaving Ma Liu Shui once a day. The journey takes about 1.5 hours. Make sure you return to the pier on time. Wear non-slip shoes and take care when the tide is coming in.
