This is the one of the best places and a must to visit if you ate in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark is also known as High Island East Dam Reservoir, so don't get confused. I have visited this place, but there is too less information regarding this place or how to reach here. But i will tell you in detail on how to reach here. 1. You have to reach Sai Kung 1st. You can reach here by taking an mtr or a bus. You can check on google maps on the route to reaching sai kung. 2. There is a direct bus to Sai Kung ( bus no. 92) from Diamond Hill mtr exit C2. 3. There is a minibus (no. 1A) from Choi Hung mtr station exit C2. 4. 101M minibus from Hung Hou mtr station exit B1. This is how you cam reach to Sai Kung. Now i will tell you how to go to the geopark from Sai Kung bus station. There are 3 ways: 1. You can take taxi from from the Sai Kung bus station. There are red and green taxis. The red ones are a bit costlier than the green ones. It will cost around 80HKD. The taxi stops at one end of the dam. There you will also find taxis waiting for you to take you back to Sai Kung, but on some occasions you may have to wait for a taxi from the dam. 2. You can take bus 96R to Pak Tam Chung from Sai Kung bus station. From here, you can hike for about 9km. 3. At the Sai Kung bus ststion, you will find a Volcano Discovery Centre. You can visit this centre. This centre provides information about how these rocks are formed. They also arrange bus and boat tours. The bus tours cost 110HKD for 3hrs. They drop and pick you at the geopark. The 3 sets of timings are 9:30-12:30 , 11:30-15:30 , 14:30-17:30. This is very convinent and reasonable also. The boat tour does not take you to the dam but it takes you around various islands, where you can see the different rock formations throughout the trip. They also make a 20 min stop at a Tin Hau temple on one of the island. The entire trio is of 3hrs and the price is 290HKD. But the real fun is visiting the East Dam Reservoir.

Very interesting geothermal rock features. The scenery at the top of Biu Tsim Kok peak is spectacular!

incredible place but really hot in summer.. easily sun burnt! find a good booth. didn’t get to walk on the rocky platforms..

HK UNESCO Global GeoPark It was renamed as above on Sep 18-2011. It represents HK’s Geopark is one among 169 geoparks in the world. This park covered the Eastern side and North-Eastern regions of New Territories. Within the eastern portion it is the Sai Kung Volcanic Rock region. It shows many volcanic ash rock, volcanic Prism Columns and sea caves. It is a unique and beautiful land formation. With the sea, High Island Reservoir ,various Dams and green mountains and pure fine sand beach it can only be described as heavenly sceneries. It will be best to visit on Saturdays and Sundays as there will be Minibus 9a running from Pak Tam Chung to the Eastern Dam costing 11.30 HKD only. For the real hikers ,they can walk there for the whole stretch of 10 Km of Maclehose Trail 1 from Pak Tam Chung to the Eastern Dam. There will be minibus returning from East Dam to Pak Tam Chung up to 1900 hours. Not to worry if you miss the minibus ,you can call a taxi by phone back to Sai Kung for HKD 150 . The best time to visit will be late Autumn as it will not be too hot nor too glaring for the eyes. The 10 Km walk will be on paved roads along the High Island Reservoir. It will be a pleasant experience. For the more adventurous hiker, they can walk from Eastern Dam for about 1.5 Km to reach the Long Ke white sand beach. It is the best beach in HK. The hiker only needs to walk an elevation of about 100M up a slope and down 100m to the beach; quite easy , even stronger kids can manage. Must bring camera to capture so many beautiful awesome sceneries which one cannot digest at once. The whole region is something beyond the imagination of HK Residents that nature is such and so exceptionally beautiful. Written on 11-7-2022.

Located in Hong Kong, the UNESCO Global Geopark is a remarkable natural treasure that embodies the beauty and geological significance of the region. This geopark is a stunning showcase of rugged landscapes, ancient rock formations, and diverse ecosystems. With its unique combination of landforms, including sea caves, volcanic columns, and sedimentary rock formations, the geopark offers visitors a captivating experience and a glimpse into the Earth's geological history. It serves as an important educational and conservation site, providing valuable insights into the dynamic processes that have shaped our planet. From picturesque coastal scenery to fascinating geological formations, the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark is nothing short of a geological wonder that invites exploration and fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of our natural world.

The government should strictly forbid that taxis enter this area. When we hiked there on 1. May 2019 there was taxi traffic like in central HK. Thousands "would like to be hikers" travelling within taxis to the park. The taxi drivers don't recognize the speed limit signs. This is not relaxing and is spoiling the fun for hiking there because the pedestrians have to take care everytime if one of the crazy taxi is coming. By the way this is Unesco geopark area. I don't know why there is a gate and a guard if taxis from the local area and even red HK downtown area taxis are allowed to enter the park area. The Unesco title should be removed for this area in my honest opinion. The signs at the entrance point out that even bikes are forbidden but the oldschool 1960 Toyota taxis which pollute the air are allowed to go. No acceptance from my side and only one star review.

What a beautiful little spot. We camped at the campsite nearby and walked over in the morning. It was blazing hot but the view was spectacular! The blues and greens of the water, the shimmering ocean, the stunning formations of the molten lava, the majestic view of the reservoir, and even the dam was something to see. Come to learn how the earth and lava created the natural columns, how the sea carved caves and a small island, and how human engineering created a safe harbor so we could enjoy this place. If you love nature it's definitely a place to come and take in. There are busses that come in, otherwise you'll need to hike from the car park or take a taxi. Enjoy!

(Translated by Google) 2020-2-22 There are good and unique hexagonal rock pillars, sea caves, and broken edge states. It is worth going back and forth. Today, a taxi from Beitanchong to Dongba costs about $ 70- $ 80. (Original) 2020-2-22 有好獨特既六角型岩柱，海蝕洞，破邊州可以睇，非常值得一去再去。今日由北潭涌直接坐的士去到東壩，車資大約$70-$80。

This place is really great, so many interesting things to see but I suggest instead of walking, you can take the taxi all the way there so you can save time and you can go home walking for it is so far & not really good when it is so hot. The views are awesome.

Amazing...It is one of the best places in HK...nature at its best...Book the tickets from the volcano museum. There are different tours. Each have their own beauties. Would highly recommend the boat tour. It departs at 2pm and returns at 5... You can sail through the nice geo park..enjoy unending nature and serenity. The guides were very friendly and well informed. Even the elderly can take the tour.

Nice day out with cool views, especially if you are brave enough to climb the pillars ;)

Very beautiful place remote from city. Great place for photo shoot and hiking. Guided tours for geology study are available.

Beautiful place❤️ take a cab in you’ll save the tedious walk. Focus on the route to the dam which also is pretty sight ! Nature at its finest ❤️❤️ visit if you have time ✌🏼

very nice environment

Good place and good memories for me and her.

Three hours boat ride and see very different kind of HK.

It is a spectacular place. After visiting this place, you will be fascinated. You will be amazed as Hong Kong is such a small place but there is such a magnificent geological scenery. Po Pin Chau, just near High Island Reservoir East Dam, is a spectacular place created by the nature.

(Translated by Google) The East Dam Geological Trail of Wanyi Reservoir, from Beitanyong to the walk for about 10 kilometers and 3 hours, the characteristic hexagonal stone pillar mountain wall, formed about 140 million years ago, the end of the trail is a sea cave, with trails It can be observed at close range, and the seaside column of the Broken Edge can be seen in the outer sea. The light-colored volcanic rock seems to be still in a fluid state! (Original) 萬宜水庫東壩地質步道，從北潭涌到此步行約10公里3小時，極富特色的六角型石柱山壁，形成於約1億4000萬年前，步道的盡頭是海蝕洞，藉由步道可近距離觀測，往外海可看到破邊洲海蝕柱，淺色的火山岩彷彿仍流質的狀態中!

This is the one of the Hiking Spot which you must visit. The East Dam of High Island Reservoir. Must Sure Bring your camera

A very unforgettable hiking trip in Hong Kong! Although the transportation is inconvenient,the view is the best in Hong Kong!

Fearless Hikers Nice but long walk

you need to come and see this place,it's so serene fresh air (though still need wear mask)rock formation ,reservoir 🤩

A lot of education value. Perfect location for geography field trips, nature tours, hikes, etc. Views of the dam and the coastal erosion features are fascinating. The east dam is reachable by taxi or green minibus 9A(only available on Sunday and public holiday afternoons). Otherwise, the walk in from Pak Tam Chung takes about 2 hours (10km). Crowded on weekends and on public holidays.

(Translated by Google) The Hong Kong Geopark can be one of the recommended natural tourist spots to visit when traveling to Hong Kong, the shape is very good, and also good for taking photos, this place is often visited by tourists and also many BMIs who come here when on holidays weekend. If you come here, prepare to bring a drink. In summer the weather is quite stinging. (Original) Geopark hongkong bisa menjadi salah satu tempat wisata alam yang rekomendasi di kunjungi saat traveling ke hongkong, bentuknny sangat bagus, dan bagus juga buat foto-foto, di tempat ini sering ramai di kunjungi oleh turis dan juga banyak mbak-mbak BMI yang kesini ketika libur akhir pekan. Jika kesini persiapan membawa minum. Jika musim panas cuacanya lumayan menyengat.

UNESCO global Geopark is in Sai kung. Getting there is easy, only 2 ride bus transportation from diamond hill or shatin. Or take taxi from saikung town. Bring your own food and drinks. Beautiful place, I love the rock formation. Bring your friends and have fun.

Beautiful spot to visit. Although beware of the wait times for the minibuses leaving the area on a weekend as there’s only 4 or 5 drivers making that bus run.

I think visiting this site is best by boat from the Sai Kung pier.

The gem of Hong Kong wild countryside with exceptionally rare rocks and features, and easy to access!

Pristine, nature at its best! Must visit when in HK!!

Best hidden secret in HK

nice viewing of Po Pin Chau

Great place! Tunning, just Not easy transport there as many people on way back on evening time! You better book taxi in advance

It is a single entity of land area over 150 km² across parts of the eastern and northeastern New Territories. On 18 September 2011, UNESCO listed the geopark as part of its Global Geoparks Network.

Highly recommend !

Excellent area for hiking and relax on beach, have to visit few times

Good getaway from the city. Good hiking trails with unique rock formation from volcanic eruption

(Translated by Google) The location shown on the map is actually the "Biaojianjiao Observation Deck". It takes about 30 minutes to go up from the Dongba Pavilion. The observation deck has a beautiful scenery and overlooks the entire Langchi Beach, Pengpeng Kok Tsui, Fanzeng Chau and Pobian Chau , Very suitable for a relaxing outing for a large family. (Original) 地圖上顯示的地點實為“標尖角觀景台”從東壩涼亭行上去大約30分鐘，觀景台風景優美，可眺望整個浪茄海灘，罾棚角咀，飯甑洲及破邊洲，非常適合一家大細輕鬆郊遊。

A stunning end to a long walk. Waaay to many taxis up and down the road are annoying, but the walk is worth it. Go all the way to the east dam, and down to Pak Lap village

Good for trekking.
