Today we went out to explore an area I've been meaning to get to for awhile now called Ma Shi Chau, a peninsula with Tolo Harbour on one side and Plover Cove on the other. It is now actually a designated spot in Hong Kong's recently established Geopark. I want to also get back out to High Island where the more famous polygonal rock columns are. We saw lots of neat volcanic landforms and we could have spent longer if not for the tide coming back in. You see, it's only accessible at low tides. Okay, I take that back, it's easier to access then, and you can see so much more. We had to climb out of the Sam Mun Tsai fisherman's village past numerous graves with great ocean views of the fish farms, the Plover Cove Dam, and Ma On Shan then back down to where the "official" trail started after crossing a tombolo, a landform like a sandbar, that connected the islets of Yim Tin Tsai and Ma Shi Chau. We enjoyed walking along the shore and checking out various tidepools along with the rocks. Alex said he wants to go back next weekend!
