Hong Kong's Red Stone Gate, a hidden gem in the world-class geological park.

Many people who come to Hong Kong will visit the Geopark, but 90% of them only go to the High Island Reservoir. Today, let's introduce another hidden gem in the Geopark - Hong Kong's Red Stone Gate. Today's weather is particularly good, with a blue sky. It's cool and suitable to visit Hongshimen only if it meets the above conditions. Depart from Wujiaoteng. Climb up to Dadao, Guanyintong, Hongshimen, and Hongshitang, then return along the same route. It is recommended to download navigation apps to avoid getting lost. Red Stone Gate is covered with red rocks, which make for great photos against the blue sky. Experts explain that this color is due to the iron content in the oxidized rocks. As Red Stone Gate is located in a less-traveled area, the rich coastal ecology has been preserved, and many marine creatures can still be seen. However, it takes about 6 hours round trip to walk to Red Stone Gate, so be sure to bring enough supplies. It's best to take photos and have a picnic at the destination before returning. Transportation: Take the 20R minibus from outside Tai Po Market station to the final stop at Wu Kai Sha station.
