Features
Visitors attractions in Lung Kwu Tan include the local Tin Hau Temple[5] at Pak Long (北朗) and Bogy's Rock.

Rare, endangered Chinese white dolphins can be observed from shores.
It is said that Emperor Bing of Song (1271–1279) of the Southern Song Dynasty went south as far as Lung Kwu Tan as he fled from the invading Mongols in the north. There is a cave at Lung Kwu Tan, which became known as the Emperor's Cave and is believed to be where Emperor Bing took refuge during his stay.[citation needed] During the period of Japanese occupation, the Dong Jiang guerrilla force made the cave one of its military bases to put up resistance against the Japanese.
