Lam Tei Quarry, Industrial quarry in Tuen Mun District, Hong Kong.
The quarry spans 30.5 hectares with nine distinct bench levels, each measuring 15 meters in height with slopes between 60 and 70 degrees.
The quarry started operations in 1982 and supplied materials for construction projects, including the proposed Ping Shan Airport following World War II.
The site demonstrates Hong Kong's industrial development, providing essential aggregate materials that meet 50 percent of the region's construction requirements.
Located 3 kilometers north of Tuen Mun New Town, the quarry maintains active operations with sufficient rock reserves projected through 2022.
The rehabilitation plan includes creating a 17-hectare platform and implementing extensive vegetation to establish a natural ecosystem matching surrounding areas.
