Sunshine Island

Sunshine Island

Sunshine Island (Chinese: 日光島 or 晨曦島), also known as Chau Kung To (周公島) indigenously, is a companion island of Hei Ling Chau in Hong Kong. Northeast of Hei Ling Chau and south of Peng Chau, the island was once used as a drug addiction treatment centre. With some abandoned buildings, the island is not inhabited any more. Some scenic rocks remains. There is no public transport to the island.

After the construction of Hong Kong Disneyland, White-bellied Sea Eagle moves from their habitat in Pa Tau Kwu (扒頭鼓) of Lantau Island to Sunshine Island. There is also an endemic Bogadek's legless lizard (Dibamus bogadeki) living on the island.
