Clear Water Bay Country Park, Urban park in New Territories, Hong Kong.
Clear Water Bay Country Park is a large natural area in the southeastern New Territories with mixed forests, open grasslands, and coastal stretches along the bay. The terrain varies from hilly ridges to flat shores, accessible from several entry points along Clear Water Bay Road.
The area has been inhabited for thousands of years, as shown by ancient rock carvings in Lung Ha Wan dating back 3500 years. The Tin Hau Temple, built in 1266, marks the region's continued importance to maritime communities over the centuries.
The Tin Hau Temple at Fat Tong Mun reflects deep local reverence for the sea goddess among fishing communities. You can see how this spiritual place remains woven into the daily lives of people who still honor maritime traditions.
The park has several entry points along Clear Water Bay Road with parking areas and good public transport connections. Bring comfortable walking shoes and be prepared for changing weather, especially when exploring the coastal and hilly sections.
Beneath Tin Ha Shan lies volcanic rock from an ancient supervolcano that erupted millions of years ago. These hidden geological layers tell the story of the land long before humans first arrived in the region.
