South Lantau Obelisk, Maritime boundary marker in Islands District, Hong Kong.
The South Lantau Obelisk stands as a stone monument at coordinates 22°12'12"N, 113°52'0"E, marking territorial boundaries near the western coast.
The structure was established in 1902 during British colonial administration to define maritime boundaries following the Convention for Extension of Hong Kong Territory.
The monument bears inscriptions in multiple languages, reflecting Hong Kong's maritime heritage and its role in territorial demarcation between different administrations.
Visitors reach the obelisk through the Tung-O Ancient Trail, which extends 13.5 kilometers from Tung Chung to Tai O villages.
The obelisk sits 380 feet above high water mark, strategically positioned to prevent damage from sea level changes while serving as a navigation reference.
