Map of Conic Island, Hong Kong
Located within Sai Kung East Country Park, the island lies a few hundred metres east of Tsang Pang Kok, Long Ke Wan. It is visible from Tsang Pang Kok, the East Dam of the High Island Reservoir, the eastern end of Man Yee Road as well as at the end of Stage 1 of the MacLehose Trail. There is a small lighthouse and a basic dock on the island.
Its Chinese name derives from it being in the shape of Zeng (甑), a crockery used in ancient times in steaming rice.
