HONG KONG - NATURE

Tung Ping Chau

Tung Ping Chau is an offshore island located in the northeast corner of Hong Kong in Mirs Bay and is close to the border with Guangdong Province in mainland China. The island has an area of 1.16 km² and consists of shale rock. A large part of the island is country parkland, with footpaths overgrown with orchids, wild mint, and morning glories. At the island's southeastern end are two huge rocks known as the Drum Rocks, or Watchman's Tower Rocks. At the north end is a chunk of land that has broken away from the island; the Chinese say it represents the head of a dragon.
