Path to Tung Lung rock carving closed for repair
The path leading to the historic rock carving on Tung Lung Island has collapsed following the recent rainstorm.
A spokesman for the Antiquities and Monuments Office called on members of the public not to plan any outings to the area until the path had been repaired.
Located on the northern coast of the island, the carving depicts the image of a dragon and consists of complicated and tortuous lines which can be seen at a distance.
It is the largest of the eight ancient rock carvings declared as monuments in Hong Kong.
