Asses' Ears, also known as the Kaipong Islands (雞澎羣島 or 佳蓬列島) or Ky-poong, is a group of islands off the coast of Guangdong in China. The islands are south of Hong Kong's Lantau Island and Cheung Chau, and southwest of the Lema Islands.

There are two major islands in the northeast and a group of minor islands in the southwest. One major island is Kaipong, which gives its name to the island group. The other is Yunghoy or Yung-gai.
