Rock Carving on Tung Lung Island (Tung Lung Island, Sai Kung)

 

This is the earliest recorded in-situ rock carving in the territory. There was an entry in the 1819 Xinan Gazetteer, compiled by Wang Chong Xi, stating that the impression depicts the image of a dragon. It is also the largest carving ever found in Hong Kong, measuring 1.8m by 2.4m.
