Po Pin Chau is a stack island outside East Dam of High Island Reservoir. It was one part of Fa Shan, but years of wave impact and erosion separated them. The most spectacular view of Po Pin Chau is hexagonal column, an array of these columns and the shape of Po Pin Chau are looked like a giant pipe organ.
