Tour description

The Lai Chi Chong geopark site is best known for its layered rocks. Along the shore one can observe the thickly layered beddings with their fold and faults, while the loose rocks show all kinds of thinly layered patterns. These layers are often folded and faulted, making for really interesting designs.

This site is best visited at low tide, with high tide most of the interesting part is under water. If you have interest in this tour, please let me know your suggested date, so I can check on the tides.
