Pak Shek Kok (白石角) is a place located between Ma Liu Shui and Tai Po Kau in Hong Kong, close to Cheung Shue Tan (樟樹灘) and facing Tolo Harbour (Tai Po Hoi). The reclamation outside Pak Shek Kok is where Kowloon-Canton Railway, Tolo Highway, Hong Kong Science Park situates.

Geography

Pak Shek Kok was the estuary of two creeks from nearby valleys of Cheung Shue Tau [cite book|title=Tai Po, Sheet No. 16|publisher=War Office|date=1924 The name of Pak Shek Kok is not shown on the map.] [cite book|title=Area 6 (Tai Po)|publisher=Crown and Survey Office|date=1967] . Kok (角) in Cantonese means convex land on the shore and thus was used to describe the land formed by two creeks running in to Tai Po Hoi. Pak Shek (白石) means white rock. It is probably the feature of land but without well documentary.

The estuary was completely covered by reclamation and the mouth of creeks was redirect to a drainage.
