North Lantau Obelisk, Granite obelisk in Islands District, Hong Kong

The North Lantau Obelisk rises 7 meters from a square base, featuring tapering sides that lead to a pyramidal top near the western shores of Lantau Island.

The obelisk was established during colonial times to mark maritime boundaries and assist sailors in navigating the waters surrounding Lantau Island.

This boundary marker represents the territorial demarcation practices of Hong Kong, standing as a testament to the region's maritime navigation methods.

Visitors can reach the North Lantau Obelisk through the Sham Wat Road trail, which connects to several hiking paths in the surrounding area.

The structure serves as both a geographical reference point and a navigational aid at coordinates 22.259232 latitude and 113.866183 longitude.
