Hung Shek Mun is located in Northeast New Territories; it is a narrow strait between Hon Mun Tsui and Wan Chau, and is well known for the crimson rocks. This colour of the rock is the result of air oxidation of iron in the rock.

There is also village called Hung Shek Mun nearby, where the few villagers there once farmed their land but now the farming livelihood is changed to that of fishing. Although the area is rather remote, but still attracts many tourists coming here especially to see the red rocky shore.
