Global Geopark of China

More than forty percent of Hong Kong is made up of nature parks, including this one designated as a UNESCO Global Geopark. Eight distinct geographic areas across the Sai Kung Volcanic Rock Region and Northeast New Territories Sedimentary Rock Region showcase Hong Kong’s oldest and youngest rocks, ranging from 400 million to 65 million years old.

High flyers hop aboard a helicopter for private tours over High Island Reservoir, before continuing on to Devil’s Fist on Bluff Island and the steep shale rock cliffs and finely layered mudstones of Ping Chau Island, once a hideout for opium and gun smugglers. For a closer look, join a walking tour of the Park, taking in the Qing Dynasty Tin Hau Temple to the Sea Goddess where modern fishermen still make offerings before heading off on the South China Sea.
