The Relics of Tung Chung is collection of ancient sites in the north of Lantau Island. These include five places which you can find around Tung Chung if you are a history buff, planning to be in this area of the city. Note: there is no formal self-walk trail connecting the Relics of Tung Chung but with a simple map showing their location, it is fairly straightforward to make your way around. Visit the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) website for for a good pamphlet with information about each of the sites. It has a map on the back that shows the location of the five heritage sites. Note: From within the Tung Chung Fort, there is an exhibition room with information about each of the Relics of Tung Chung. Here you can also find the useful AMO pamphlets to guide you through town to the various sites. Of the Relics of Tung Chung, the most interesting is the Tung Chung Fort, which was built in the early 19th century and used to defend the costal area until 1898. It was evacuated when the New Territories including Lantau Island was leased to Britain. Next is the Tung Chung Battery, also believed to have been built in the early 19th-century. All you can see these days is the an L-shaped wall ruins of the old battery that went into disuse at some point in the late 19th-century. It was then interestingly, taken over by vegetation and forgotten about for nearly a century until being rediscovered in 1980. Beside the Tung Chung Battery is the ancient Fu Tei Wan Lime Kiln, which has been carbon dated back to the Tang Dynasty, making it between 1200 and 1300 years old. Originally discovered in the area around Chek Lap Kok where the modern Hong Kong International Airport is located. This ancient relic was relocated next to the battery in 1991 before the airport constructions began. Similarly, the old Tin Hau Temple at Chek Lap Kok was relocated to the area of Wong Lung Hang in Tung Chung. This is an early 19th century temple interestingly made of large granite slabs. It is around 4-5 minute walk from the Tung Chung Fort, not particularly difficult to find if using the AMO pamphlet and map (or google maps). Lastly, you can see the Hau Wong Temple, believed to have been built in 1765. What you find is a fairly typical Chinese style temple from the Qing Dynasty. It is located along the sea and in route to the Ngong Ping 360 (Rescue) and Ancient Tung O trailheads. Thus, it is can be conveniently visited along the way, even if not in Tung Chung to see the rest of the Relics collection. That wraps up the Relics of Tung Chung collection of ancient sites, something to do if you find yourself in north Lantau and are have interest in seeing old heritage sites and declared monument buildings.
