Description

Discover the natural wonders of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark on a boat tour of the Flaming Red Coast. Explore the mysterious red landforms and uncover the secrets of the sedimentary rocks with 400 million years of geological history. Meet your guide at Wong Shek Pier and set off on a boat tour of the Flaming Red Coast. Disembark on the Bluff Head to See the oldest rock in Hong Kong, the Devil's Fist, which has been under weathering for millions of years and looks like human fingers. Next, Disembark on the Red Rock Gate to see the reddest rock region in Hong Kong, where the whole coastline is red in color and is particularly gorgeous under the sun. The red conglomerate and sandstone formed in the Cretaceous period show the semi-desert climate 140 million years ago. Continue to the Red Gate and see the red sedimentary rock, which can mainly be found in the northeastern New Territories. These magnificent natural wonders are within the Northeast New Territories Sedimentary Rock Region in the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark. After exploring Bluff Head, take a speedboat to Red Rock Gate, Hong Kong’s most vibrant red coastline. With a guide sharing about the geology history of this beautiful place, simply stroll along this stunning red coast. Experience different shades of red in various seasons and weather. On cloudy days, see vivid fiery reds; on sunny days, enjoy pinkish hues. Both are breathtaking. Finally, head to Port Island, also known as Sea Danxia, where dinosaur fossils have been discovered.
