Outlying Islands - Away from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong city

Hong Kong Outlying Islands Tour 🏖️ Leave the bustling Hong Kong urban area and take a boat to Lamma Island. Lamma Island is the largest outlying island beyond Hong Kong Island. Due to its convenient transportation, it only takes 25 minutes by boat to Central, making it the most visited outlying island by tourists. Hung Shing Yeh Beach is the most important attraction on Lamma Island, and visitors to the island will go there to play in the water and eat seafood. It takes 20 minutes to walk from Yung Shue Wan Pier to Hung Shing Yeh Beach; the island's leisure trail 'Lamma Island Family Walk' connects Yung Shue Wan Pier with Sok Kwu Wan Pier and passes by Hung Shing Yeh Beach. 🚉 Transportation: Take the MTR to Central Station Exit A, walk across the footbridge to Pier No. 4 to take the ferry. There are two piers on Lamma Island for disembarking, Sok Kwu Wan (20 minutes, HKD 17/person) and Yung Shue Wan (30 minutes, HKD 22/person) 📝 Tips: ① The ferry's air conditioning is particularly cold, it is recommended to bring a long-sleeved shirt. ② For a leisurely stroll around the outlying islands, it is recommended to wear comfortable flat shoes for ease. 🏝️ Cheung Chau Island is the most beautiful outlying island in Hong Kong. It is also a classic filming location for TVB dramas. It still retains the characteristics of a fishing port and is suitable for a slow-paced lifestyle. There are no skyscrapers or hurried crowds, just tranquil fishing villages and leisurely passers-by. Take a walk on the island, space out on the beach, and you can also find handicrafts from various places in some small shops. 👍 Highly recommended: There is a food street in the central area with a variety of snacks such as big fish balls, glutinous rice dumplings, and watermelon ice. Additionally, there are many seafood restaurants along the seaside where you can have seafood for dinner. 🚲 There are many shops along the seaside near the pier where you can rent bicycles, with prices generally the same. Approximately HKD 15 per bike per hour, there is also a package of 3 hours for HKD 40! ✅ Must experience: The beaches by the sea and the church, sea views, Cheung Po Tsai Cave, etc. on the mountain are all very worthwhile places to visit. 🌟 About Transportation Take the MTR from Hong Kong Station Exit F, go through the pedestrian footbridge to Central Pier No. 5 to depart. Slow boat ticket $14.2, fast boat ticket $28 (cash and Octopus card only) It's better to buy a fast boat ticket, as there are more frequent departures, air conditioning, faster speed, and comfort! 📝 Tips: ① It is recommended to exchange more cash, as cash is more commonly used on the island, and only a few shops accept WeChat or Alipay. ② Bicycles cannot be ridden on the island on weekends
