Hong Kong Global Geopark: Po Pin Chau

Hong Kong is only a very small country when viewed from the world map. But the country is still under the Chinese government's administrative, storing the natural attractions of interest. Starting from the garden designed in such a way, the number of exotic beaches, hills and mountains as well as artificial tourism is no less interesting. This time I will invite blogger friends to know better one of the attractions in the area of Sai Kung, Kowloon. This location is part of Hong Kong Geopark which is famous of Po Pin Chau.

Po Pin Chau formed because of several stages. Due to the large waves on the beach Fa Shan lead to progressive erosion in the rock to form a sea cave. Over time, the cave becomes larger and deeper and finally cut off the right part Fa Shan, then formed a sea arch. As a result of this cutting debris and then formed Po Pin Chau. Other than that the location is also formed due to volcanic eruptions several million years ago.

Many of the things that we enjoy at this location. In addition to rock stretching antidote waves, there are also reliefs of rocks from erosion results. In addition, we can also enjoy the beaches were clean enough. Well, the beach is found in two locations. First behind the hill Fa Shan and the second on the left of the dam.

To reach this takes a long time because it is pretty. When I am with friends and I decided to Po Pin Chau, we chose a taxi to the start point. And indeed at that location many taxis are transporting the climbers / hikers from Po Pin Chau or leave the premises.

Po Pin Chau is also known as High Island Geo Trail, located in the eastern part of the High Island Reservoir. This place serves up breathtaking scenery that the lake and the hilltops, and there is also a giant columnar stone. It is the main attraction of the location, especially for those who want to observe a hexagonal stone Hong Kong from close range. The site also features geologic structure and features of interest. After arriving at the location of the start point, this area is very easy to reach. We can also visit the Volcano Discovery Center of Hong Kong global UNESCO Geopark in Sai Kung Town to get more information and to understand the past volcanic activity in Hong Kong.

There are interesting on a hillside Kim Chu Wan, that underneath there is some gravel from marine sediment. Many visitors who accidentally fall to enjoy the panoramic view from the bottom of the hill. Well, in the hillside there are a heart (heart shape) that we can see accurately from a distance. After enjoying a few spots at the top, do not forget to explore the eastern part of the Po Pin Chau are also surrounded by the sea and hills.

Back to the main road, on the left we can trace the hill that leads to the beach or to the Cape. Where the beach is filled with the larger rocks. If we want to see the sights of the beautiful Pak Lap Tsai, there is a side road on the right with some ribbon as a sign of the street. In the spring, this hill will grow some flowers typical of China are diverse.
