Rock Carving on Tung Lung Island in Hong Kong. Not readily accessible, you need to get a ferry to Tung Lung Chau and then hike for 30-40 minutes to reach the site. Lots of steps to walk back up on your way back.

These carvings are thought to be around 3,000 years old from the Chinese Bronze age. Most of them are by the sea with spirals and animal shapes. They are all "Declared Monuments", meaning they receive the highest level of protection.

There's several rock carvings around Hong Kong, they are thought to be
around 3,000 years old from the Chinese Bronze age. Most of them are by the
sea with spirals and animal shapes. They are all "Declared Monuments",
meaning they receive the highest level of protection.

The Hong Kong government Antiquities department page on it is here:
http://www.amo.gov.hk/en/monuments_03.php

The other ones are here:
Big Wave Bay: http://www.amo.gov.hk/en/monuments_01.php
Wong Chuk Hang: http://www.amo.gov.hk/en/monuments_28.php
Kau Sai Chau: http://www.amo.gov.hk/en/monuments_02.php - this is barely
visible and really hard to get to
Lung Ha Wan: http://www.amo.gov.hk/en/monuments_16.php - this one I'm not
sure is genuine
Shek Pik: http://www.amo.gov.hk/en/monuments_05.php
Po Toi: http://www.amo.gov.hk/en/monuments_06.php
Cheung Chau: http://www.amo.gov.hk/en/monuments_14.php

My website is here, I've almost got to all the Hong Kong Declared
Monuments: https://hiddenhk.com/hk-declared-monuments
