TungPingChau
Because we think, so we are...
We began our journey by boarding the ferry at Ma Liu Shui at 9 am in a sunny morning. From Ma Liu Shui (the uni KCR station), it takes you around 1.5 hours travelling to the island by the ferry. On the way to Tung Ping Chau, you may find that it is just as "flat" as a huge floating bed on the sea. However, you may be amazed at its extraordinary beauty later!!!! reli amazing ~
Tung Ping Chau is located on the north-eastern part of Tai Pang Wan. It is called Tung Ping on the map. In order not to be confused with Ping Chau which is close to the eastern part of Lantau Island, this eastern tip is then called Tung Ping Chau. It's well-known for its shale which is formed by hardened mud or clay under sea. After ages, it divides into thin layers and the land is finally uplifted and the shale is now exposed on land above sea level. The shale on the island has its own well stratified pattern.The main attraction are the beaches, which are unfortunately as rubbish-strewn as those anywhere else in Hong Kong, although the water is clear enough for swimming. The island is part of the Plover Cove country park and there is a well-maintained and fairly easy path around the island. There are also a couple of small shops, but you would be well-advised to take everything you need with you.
For myself, I am fascinated by those noticeable small houses built by the shale on the island. There is an open area for BBQ, appreciating the beach and the sky. Imagine that there is no noise pullution of the TV programmes, human desputes, and you are now far away from the hustle and bustle... roaming slowly in the nature, appreciating the blue sky, the breeze and oceanic music and chatting with your sweet heart.....
