Rock Carving on Tung Lung Chau, Ancient petroglyph at Tung Lung Chau island, Hong Kong, China
A large rock carving measuring 1.8 by 2.4 meters stands on the northwestern side of Tung Lung Chau island, displaying ancient patterns and designs.
The rock carving, first documented in the 1819 Gazetteer of Xin'an County, represents the largest known prehistoric stone artwork discovered in Hong Kong territory.
The petroglyph provides evidence of early human settlements and artistic expressions in the Hong Kong region, contributing to archaeological understanding of prehistoric societies.
Visitors can reach the rock carving site by taking a 30-minute kai-to ferry service from Sam Ka Tsuen pier, operating during weekends and holidays.
The rock carving earned official protection status in 1980, becoming one of Hong Kong's declared monuments alongside the nearby Tung Lung Fort.
