Wong Chuk Kok Tsui (Chinese: 黃竹角咀; lit. 'Cape of the Yellow Bamboo Point'), formerly known as Bluff Head, is a cape in north east New Territories, Hong Kong. Administratively, it is part of North District and Tai Po District.

Geography

Wong Chuk Kok Tsui separates North Channel, the northern part of Tolo Channel, to its south and Wong Chuk Kok Hoi to its north. It is repudiated as the extremity of north east New Territories, due to its remoteness for access on land.

Conservation

It is part of Plover Cove Country Park and the Hong Kong National Geopark. It holds some of the oldest rocks in Hong Kong.
