An away-from-it-all hike on an island with 6,000 years of fishing history.
Our
journey starts at the colourful fishermen´s quay in Aberdeen. There we
take a slow boat to Lamma, giving us good views of southern Hong Kong
Island.
Passing beautiful old feng shui woods we follow a lovely
coastal path on this peaceful traffic-free island. We then climb a
hillside for majestic views over the shipping lanes of the South China
Sea, neighbouring islands of Cheung Chau and Lantau and the unspoilt
south.
After visiting an atmospheric Tin Hau temple on the waterfront we stop for a well-earned seafood lunch at Sok Kwu Wan.
Leaving
the numerous fishing boats, platforms and fish breeding nets behind, we
take a scenic walk past World War II Kamikaze tunnels and a delightful
sandy bay.
At the bustling village of Yung Shue Wan, we stroll
down the narrow streets of tightly packed local shops, absorbing the
relaxed atmosphere.
Reaching the old pier, a fast ferry awaits to speed us back to the hustle and bustle of Central, Hong Kong Island.
