Move over Hollywood—Hong Kong’s UNESCO Global Geopark is stealing the spotlight! 🎬 Nestled in the eastern and northeastern New Territories, this geological wonder is drawing filmmakers with its jaw-dropping rock formations, lush islands, and ancient cultural sites. Think of it as nature’s own movie set! 🌿
Designated as a Global Geopark in 2011, the area is China’s 26th UNESCO-recognized site. From volcanic hexagonal columns older than dinosaurs 🦖 to hidden fishing villages, it’s no wonder directors are flocking here for blockbuster backdrops. Plus, its mix of biodiversity and heritage adds that *chef’s kiss* to any scene. 🎥
Local crews say the geopark’s versatility—think misty coastlines one day, rugged cliffs the next—makes it a one-stop shop for epic storytelling. Who needs CGI when you’ve got 400-million-year-old rocks? 💥
