Hong Kong’s unique geographical wonder - hexagonal rock pillars

Sai Kung is the place with the most geographical wonders in Hong Kong. The endless South China Sea and the daunting anaconda tip are breathtakingly beautiful. The East Dam of High Island Reservoir has hexagonal rock pillars, sea caves and breakwaters. It experienced volcanic eruptions and earthquakes about 140 million years ago. At that time, the mixture of lava, rock debris and volcanic ash cooled and contracted, and the formed rock pillars were still in a semi-solidified state. Due to the impact of earthquakes and regional subsidence, they twisted and folded into an S-shape, forming what is now the Hong Kong Geopark in Sai Kung District. This uncanny natural mural on the Yi Geological Trail is a group of hexagonal pillars. Because Huashan faces the boundless South China Sea, the rocks of Huashan have been eroded by waves and winds for millions of years and gradually peeled off, forming sea caves and an independent island - Po Bien Chau. Here, you can feel the uncanny workmanship of nature! ##Hong Kong Good Place ##Geological Park
