By Stephanie Ngai By Stephanie Ngai

The Local Geo-tour 2022 was successfully organised
by ICE HKA G&S on 19 November 2022. There were
34 participants that day. The tour aimed to broaden
participant’s horizons by experiencing the natural
9_3 video heritage and harmony in nature, and explore the local
geology and the importance of sustainable development
through the tour. We were glad to have ICE Council
member Prof Ken Ho joining us throughout the tour.

The Tour kickstarted with a detailed introduction of
Hong Kong Geology by the tour guide on the way to
the first destination, Wong Chuk Kok Tsui. Not only
did the participants observe the famous rock features,
but also appreciated the beautiful scenery of the video
Northeastern New Territories during the boat trip.

A variety of eye-catching natural rocky coastal features were presented to participants in Ap Chau,
participants were devoted to listening to the information given by the tour guides, especially when
talking about the ’duck eye’ created by sea erosion. The tour ended after visiting Lai Chi Wo, which
showcased the participants with its diversified and mesmerising landscape. Lai Chi Wo nurtured
mangroves, shrublands and Fung Shui wood and offered a wide range of ecological habitats. It was a
long lost face-to-face event, most of the participants were given an excellent opportunity to connect
with other members. We wish to thank Eco Travel for their tour-guide services.
