| Level of seismic activity in Hong Kong 香港地震活動程度 | Low seismicity; felt earthquakes are rare 低地震活動區，有感地震罕見 Hong Kong sits within the Eurasian Plate, not on a plate boundary, so seismicity is much lower than along the Pacific Ring of Fire (Taiwan, Japan, Philippines). The Hong Kong Observatory operates a seismic network; recorded events are mostly micro-earthquakes; felt events (around Mercalli intensity III or below) are rare, and destructive earthquakes even rarer. | 2026-10-15 | Hong Kong Observatory: Seismicity of Hong Kong |
