Brief Introduction

GeoBlog presents 40 interesting sites across Hong Kong, which represent a wide cross section of Hong Kong landforms. From the distant Po Chu Tam in Tai O, West Lantau Island, to Lion Rock right in urban Kowloon, GeoBlog takes you on an eye-opening journey. Between the covers, you will find the sheer High Junk Peak in Clear Water Bay Peninsula, the Amah Rock that looks out to sea come rain or shine, and the Kang Lau Shek sea stacks on the Tung Ping Chau wave-cut platform.

While recommending good hiking destinations, this book is presented in a novel “blog” format. With concise and pithy text, finely drawn illustrations and captivating photographs, it gives a powerful showcase of diverse geographical phenomena and transforms abstruse key points into comprehendible popular knowledge. From now on, rock-watching can be a pleasurable pursuit for everyone
