One of the region's most iconic landmarks is Po Pin Chau, situated near the east dam of High Island Reservoir – Hong Kong's largest reservoir in terms of water storage capacity. This striking geological wonder dates back over 100 million years to the Jurassic period. Its dramatic scenery and unique rock formations have made it a popular filming location for both local and international productions. Notably, shots of Po Pin Chau appeared repeatedly in the 2009 Hong Kong crime movie "Murderer," starring Aaron Kwok.
