Shek O Quarry, Industrial quarry in Southern District, Hong Kong.
The Shek O Quarry spans 45 hectares on the western side of D'Aguilar Peninsula, supplying essential rock materials for Hong Kong's construction industry.
Since its establishment in 1964, the quarry transformed the western face of D'Aguilar Peninsula, leading to environmental regulations and rehabilitation contracts by 1993.
The quarry rehabilitation plan includes designated areas for peregrine falcon nesting sites along the southern boundary cliffs, preserving local wildlife populations.
The quarry utilizes barge transportation for aggregate materials instead of roads, reducing traffic impact on surrounding communities in the Southern District.
The site combines active quarrying with environmental restoration, incorporating native plant species to create self-sustaining ecosystems within the industrial landscape.
