About this Campsite

Tung Ping Chau is a peaceful retreat with breathtaking scenery, but be prepared for limited communication options and basic facilities. The campsite itself has some room for improvement, but the surrounding beauty is well worth it - think stunning coastal views, clear water routes, and unique geological formations like shale formations that are pure gold geologically speaking. While it may not have all the amenities you'd expect, this hidden gem is perfect for those who want to disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature.

Introduction

Crescent shaped Ping Chau is the most eastern island in the territory. The campsite is next to the Kang Lau Shek, a spectacular stack overlooking the sea. Apart from the multitude of shrub, the site is also surrounded by various beach-type vegetations and birds. There is also a huge wave-cut platform adjacent to the campsite. You can lie on the ground to watch moon-light or sunrise.
