How it's used
Locals often refer to this island simply as 鴨洲, but it is frequently discussed in the context of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark due to its unique sedimentary rock formations. It is geographically isolated and requires specific ferry arrangements to visit, which makes it a popular destination for hikers interested in geology rather than general tourism.
