This famous Cantonese restaurant is extremely popular among locals, especially for its claypot rice and cheung fun (I find it the best in HK).

Parks & Nature

Ma Shi Chau on the southwest shore and Lai Chi Chong on the south shore. Most of the rocks along the north shore of Tolo Channel and at Bluff Head are the oldest in Hong Kong, formed about 400 million years ago during the Devonian Period. Ma Shi Chau presents the sedimentary rocks formed about 280 million years ago; the rocks are the second oldest rocks in the rock region; Lai Chi Chong showcases various volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks formed about 146 million years ago. These two geo-sites also show distinctive geological features, such as faults and folds.

Sightseeing

Tsz Shan Monastery is home to the world’s biggest bronze statue of Guan Yin (goddess of mercy, also known as Kwun Yum in Cantonese). Sitting 76m tall, the statue is twice the size of Lantau Island’s Big Buddha. The 500,000sq ft monastery took 12 years to complete and is designed in a style mirroring that of the Tang dynasty. The Buddhist compound features several grand halls, a striking Bodhi tree, sweeping gardens and a ‘brilliance pond’. There’s a strict limit on how many people can visit each day, so make sure you book in advance online.
