Everything about Green Island Hong Kong totally explained
» For a former island on Rambler Channel in Hong Kong, Tsing Chau
Green Island is an
island off the northwest coast of
Kennedy Town on the
Hong Kong Island in
Hong Kong, separated by the
Sulphur Channel.
A smaller island nearby to the east, uninhabited, is called
Little Green Island (小青洲).
Green Island is largely uninhabited and at the east coast is
Green Island Reception Centre and
Green Island Police Station. Top of the hill is an office of
Marine Department and a light house southwest guides the ships in Sulphur Channel.
The buildings of the
Green Island Lighthouse Compound are graded as
Grade II historic building. The historic buildings include the two lighthouses built in
1875 and
1905 respectively and the European quarters of the lighthouse compound.
The island is densely covered with
woodland and tall scrub. A total of 150 plant species and a large variety of butterfly species have been found. One ant species not previously found elsewhere in Hong Kong was recorded on Green Island. The locally rare
reef egret and
white-bellied sea eagle have been seen on the island.
Administratively, the two islands are part of
Central and Western District.
In
1990s,
Hong Kong Government has proposed reclamation of Sulphur Channel and turning Green Island into a residential area, with an exit of cross-harbour tunnel of Route 10. The proposal was put off due to strong opposition from environment concern groups.
