Dragon Descend into Water

This picture shows the rock formation Lung Lok Shui located on the southwestern coast of Tung Ping Chau, an island in Hong Kong that is mainly made up of sedimentary rock. The layers in this rock formation are very thin and fine-grained. They are believed to form in a shallow-water depositional environment. Due to the different rock types and their resistance to erosion, the chert with higher resistance exposed on the surface and formed this unique feature that resembles the spine of a dragon entering the water, hence its name “Lung Lok Shui”, which means “Dragon Descend into Water.”
