Lamma Island, Hong Kong|A 20,000-step summary!

✨🌊 Lamma Island, Hong Kong|A 20,000-step summary! A fresh island + seafood freedom + pitfall guide 🌊✨ 🚢 Transportation: How to get to the island with the least hassle? 1. Depart from Central Pier: Take a ferry from Central Pier No. 4. There are two routes: Yung Shue Wan (30 minutes) and Sok Kwu Wan (25 minutes). Regular ferry tickets cost HKD 10–15 on weekdays and are slightly more expensive on holidays. 2. Ferry schedule is super important! There are many ferries to Yung Shue Wan (6:30 am–11:30 pm), but fewer to Sok Kwu Wan (about 10 per day). It is recommended to enter from Yung Shue Wan in the morning and leave from Sok Kwu Wan in the afternoon to avoid missing the last ferry. Lesson learned: Some people missed the Victoria Peak night view because they didn't check the schedule! 🏝️ Must-see attractions: Follow the route and take beautiful photos! Recommended route: Yung Shue Wan Main Street → Hung Shing Yeh Beach → Pavilion → Sok Kwu Wan Seafood Street (about 2 hours in total, walking and playing). 1. Yung Shue Wan Main Street: Right outside the pier! Handicraft shops, exotic bars, seafood shops (shrimp paste and dried fish are cheaper than in Sok Kwu Wan!). 2. Hung Shing Yeh Beach: Clear water and white sand, foreigners sunbathing, perfect for taking ins-style photos! 3. Pavilion: The most beautiful section of the hike! 360° unobstructed sea view, the sky is so blue it looks like a filter! 4. Sok Kwu Wan Seafood Street: The stilted fishing restaurant is super atmospheric, but the price is a bit expensive (HKD 300+ per person), but you can get a free ferry ticket back to Central if you eat here. 🍜 Foodies must see! Island food red and black list ✅ Highly recommended: Kin Hing Tofu Dessert: Honey + iced tofu dessert, a bite to recover after a long walk! Mango Glutinous Rice Balls: Thin skin and lots of filling, durian flavor yyds! Yung Shue Wan Shop: Curry rice, Mediterranean food, HKD 50 per person. ❌ Avoid: - Sok Kwu Wan's "Rainbow Seafood Restaurant" is famous (Chow Yun-fat's favorite), but not cost-effective, better to eat in the city. 🏡 Where to stay? Homestay VS Resort Homestay: Near Yung Shue Wan Main Street, affordable (HKD 200–400/night), but simple facilities, remember to lock the door! Resort: "Lantau Lodge" in Hung Shing Yeh Bay has the best environment, and Starwave Restaurant in Mo Tat Wan has a sea view terrace, suitable for romantics. Lazy suggestion: A day trip is enough, staying in Central is more convenient (such as Hotel Jen Hong Kong, HKD 450/night). Lessons learned! 1. Cash! Cash! Most small shops on the island only accept cash, prepare HKD 300 per person. 2. Sunscreen + mosquito repellent: Sun exposure on the beach, many mosquitoes on the mountain road, physical defense is the most reliable. 3. Wear comfortable shoes: Walking all the way, stone roads + slopes, high heels are a death wish! 4. Check the ferry schedule! Check the ferry schedule! Central Pier official website or save a screenshot, miss one and wait 1 hour! 🌅 A little romance at the end: In the evening, while waiting for the ferry at Sok Kwu Wan Pier, the pink and purple sunset + fishing lights will heal all your fatigue! 👉 Click to save, next time you go to Hong Kong, don't just visit Victoria Harbour!
