Hold your breath and dive deep into Tung Ping Chau, Hong Kong’s best diving site! Deemed a Site of Scientific Interest in 1979 by Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, the island is home to 60 different coral species and tiny marine creatures such as small fishes, sea urchins, and shellfish who are just waiting to say hello. Above water, see the unbelievable platforms of silt stones, eroded by thrashing waves, that cover Tung Ping Chau in striking shades of brown and burnt orange. Take a walk along A Ma Wan and look out for remarkable rock formations. Rock pools along the island serve as refreshing rest stops on hot summer days.

Take a dive just off of Tung Ping Chau to come face-to-face with undersea beauty! These waters are home to 60 different kinds of coral species and colorful fish! The island is known to be Hong Kong’s best diving site, a Marine Park and a part of UNESCO’s Global Geopark Network. Above the water, the waves cut the island’s shale rocks in the most interesting way. The land seems to be emerging from the sea in shingles of sedimentary rock. Keep your eyes peeled for fossils! Be mindful of the ferry schedule, though; they only operate on weekends and public holidays.
