Wong Chuk Hang Rock Carvings

　　The Wong Chuk Hang Rock Carvings are prehistoric stone carvings in Hong Kong, located beside a small stream in the northeastern part of Wong Chuk Hang on Hong Kong Island, near the area of Nam Fung Road, and have now been designated as a declared monument of Hong Kong.

　　The Wong Chuk Hang Rock Carvings are notable for featuring three distinct sets of spiral patterns that resemble animal eyes, though some suggest they are thunder motifs used to ward off floods. Their style bears strong resemblance to the rock carvings found on Cheung Chau and Po Toi Island. What makes the Wong Chuk Hang Rock Carvings unique is that they are located about 1 kilometre inland, unlike other rock carvings in Hong Kong which are situated by the sea. Some speculate that the discovery site was once coastal during the Neolithic period, while others note that a stream still runs beneath the carvings, keeping them relatively close to water.
