Field Trip
The 5ISMLG conference program contains an optional field trip to Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark. Please read the following information carefully before registration of the field trip.
High Island Reservoir East Dam
Rock-column Palace
High Island Reservoir in Sai Kung East Country Park is famous for its scenic beauty. During the construction of the reservoir, stone was quarried from the cliffs around the East Dam. The excavation work revealed globally rare rhyolitic volcanic hexagonal rock columns, and the site became the best spot to see this geo-wonder at close range. The East Dam of High Island Reservoir has so much to offer: magnificent uplands, reservoir, seascape, various geological structures, and wave-cut landforms. It is one of the most popular geopark attractions. More information can be found at the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark website.
