Bluff Island (Hong Kong)

About

Bluff Island, indigenously known as Sha Tong Hau Shan, also known as Ung Kong, is an island in Port Shelter, south of Sai Kung Peninsula of Hong Kong. It is an important area for corals and other marine life. The island is zoned as Site of Special Scientific Interest since 1979. The surrounding water has not yet been legally protected and thus the corals are damaged by anchors of holiday visitors.
