Cheung Chau Observation Deck, Scenic viewpoint in Cheung Chau Island, Hong Kong.
The elevated observation platform presents a complete view of the South China Sea, neighboring islands, and distant mountain ranges.
The observation deck stands on land that served as a strategic defense point for Cheung Chau Island against maritime threats during colonial times.
Local residents gather at the deck during the annual Bun Festival to watch traditional dragon dances and ceremonial performances unfold below.
Visitors can reach the observation deck via a 20-minute walk from the Cheung Chau Ferry Pier, following clear directional signs along the path.
The deck provides an unobstructed view of more than 100 fishing boats adorned with red flags returning to harbor at sunset.

Hong Kong contains numerous viewpoints that provide different perspectives on the city. From Victoria Peak at 1,810 feet (552 meters) above sea level to locations along the harbor, these sites show the interaction between urban development, water and mountain terrain. Observation points include summits such as Lion Rock and Tai Mo Shan, platforms like Sky100 at 1,289 feet (393 meters), and hiking trails such as Dragon's Back. The Lugard Road viewing area and Wilson Trail offer outlooks during short walks, while vehicles like the Ngong Ping cable car and Star Ferry provide moving vantage points. Historic structures complement the network. The Man Mo Temple from 1847 sits among multistory buildings in Sheung Wan. Ping Shan Tower in Yuen Long dates to the 18th century. The Kowloon Walled City Gardens mark the former site of a densely populated enclave. More recent facilities like the Yick Cheong Building in Quarry Bay display residential architecture from the 1960s. The Harbour Promenade in Tsim Sha Tsui runs along Victoria Harbour with direct views of the island skyline. Po Lin Monastery on Lantau stands at 1,640 feet (500 meters) elevation. The Cape D'Aguilar Marine Reserve on the Shek O Peninsula combines coastal formations with observation points. Each location shows a different aspect of Hong Kong's urban and natural environment.
