Big Wave Bay Rock Carving, Ancient petroglyph at Big Wave Bay, Hong Kong CN.

The rock carving displays geometric patterns and animal figures etched into a stone surface measuring 90 centimeters by 180 centimeters on a coastal headland.

A police officer first discovered this rock carving in 1970, leading to its official recognition and protection as a declared monument of Hong Kong in 1978.

The geometric designs and animal patterns carved into the rock surface indicate connections to early maritime communities who depended on the sea for sustenance.

The site maintains restricted access with protective barriers, requiring visitors to view the carvings from designated observation points to prevent damage.

This ancient rock art stands as one of several coastal petroglyphs in Hong Kong, positioned directly on a headland overlooking the waters of Big Wave Bay.
