Hong Kong - Sha Tin District, Amah Rock

The Amah Rock Mentioned in Local Folklore.

- - - - - - -

Amah Rock is a naturally shaped rock located on a hilltop in southwest Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.

According to a legend, the faithful wife of a fisherman climbed the hills every day, carrying her son, to watch for the return of her husband, not knowing he had been drowned at sea. In reward for her faithfulness she was turned into a rock by the Goddess of the Sea so that her spirit could unite with that of her husband.
