Despite being a densely populated and highly developed city, Hong Kong contains fascinating geological heritage, including spectacular landforms, such as the redbeds on Port Island, sedimentary formations in Tung Ping Chau, and jointed rock columns in High Island and the Ninepin Islands.

"Hong Kong Geology 360" is jointly organised by the Department of Earth Sciences and Stephen Hui Geological Museum of The University of Hong Kong (HKU), Geotechnical Engineering Office of the Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD), Geological Society of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Science Museum. It aims to give the public an overview of the geological environment in Hong Kong, promote greater interest in Earth Sciences and awareness for the need to preserve our geological heritage. Included in the programme are an exhibition on the geology of Hong Kong, talks by experts and field excursions and visits to the Stephen Hui Geological Museum.



The exhibition comprises displays on the geological history of Hong Kong, fold and fault structures, landscape, minerals, rocks and fossils, and application of geology in Hong Kong. Visitors could see and touch the major types of rocks in Hong Kong at the exhibition.
