Po Pin Chau (Chinese: 破邊洲) is an island in Hong Kong. Off the eastern coast of the East Dam of the High Island Reservoir, the island is known for its hexagonal columnar jointing. The island was originally a cape connected to the mainland, but eventually broke away from the mainland due to years of erosion. The island is administered by the Sai Kung District and is part of the Hong Kong Geopark and Sai Kung East Country Park.[1][2][3]
The columnar rock formations on the island were formed after a series of volcanic eruptions in Hong Kong during the Jurassic Era.[4]
