The Lai Chi Chung geosite is one of the very interesting inclusions of the UNESCO Global Geopark in Hong Kong. It is located on the northern shore of the Sai Kung West Country Park in the Tolo Harbour and can be reached by hiking trail and ferry service from the Ma Liu Shi Ferry Pier at Science Park. This particular geosite is noted for rare volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks and a wide variety of other sedimentary rock structures of a variety of colour and shapes including rhythmic bedding, graded bedding and incredible fold structures. There are delightful pockets of colourful tuffite, tuffaceous sandstone and other geological structures all of which is found within a couple hundred meter stretch of the shore to the west of the ferry pier. Shortly after passing the ferry pier you will find information panels providing the location of 8 highlights along the beachfront and explaining some of the geological features found here at Lai Chi Chung. Note that the exposed geological structures are mostly visible during low tide so intending visitors need to check the tide schedule before setting off. You can find the tide information through google search or on the Hong Kong Observatory website. To visit Lai Chi Chung, you can hike in from Pak Sha O to the east or from the village of Sham Cham from the west by way of the Kai Ma Tung pass. You'll find this trail and full route details on the Hiking Trail Hong Kong mobile app. Alternatively, you can take direct ferry from the Ma Liu Shi Ferry Pier which departs to Tap Mun (inc. second stop - Lai Chi Chung) twice daily at 8.30am and 3pm. It is a 45 minute ferry ride and cost HK$18 weekdays, HK$28 weekends). Do check the updated ferry schedule online as well in the event of future changes to the present schedule.
