Hiking on Hong Kong's outlying islands—Lamma Island Loop

This Lamma Island loop hike (excluding Ling Kok Shan and Shan Tei Tong) covers a total distance of 22.8 km, with a cumulative elevation gain of 1,400 m, and took five hours to complete. The specific route is: Yung Shue Wan Pier—Shek Lei Wan—Pak Kok New Village—Pak Kok Tsui—Lamma Power Station—Hung Shing Yeh Beach—Luk Chau Tin Hau Temple (return)—Lo So Shing Beach (return)—Sok Kwu Wan Tin Hau Temple—Tung O—Shek Pai Wan—Yung Shue Ha—Mo Tat Village—Mo Tat Wan (return)—Sok Kwu Wan Pier. Photo 1, 7: Hung Shing Yeh Beach Photo 2: Lamma Island retains the charm of a fishing village, with blooming flowers throughout the village, creating a picturesque scene. Photo 3, 4: Shek Lei Wan Photo 5: Pak Kok Pier Photo 6: Lamma Power Station Photo 8, 9: Luk Chau Wan Photo 10: Luk Chau Tin Hau Temple. Luk Chau is a particularly quiet small fishing village, named after the deer (muntjac) that used to roam the mountain. Photo 11: Sok Kwu Wan Photo 12: Lamma Power Station Photo 13: Lo So Shing Beach. Lo So Shing is a rural village, named after the vines (lo so) that grow outside the village. Photo 14: Kamikaze Cave. It is said that the Japanese invaders planned to use it to store ships during World War II, but it was later abandoned. Photo 15: Sok Kwu Wan Tin Hau Temple Photo 16: Ling Kok Shan is full of strange rocks. On the way from Sok Kwu Wan to Tung O, there is a peculiar rock called "Qi Lou Shi" (Arcade Rock). Photo 17: Shek Pai Wan. The unique feature here is the strange rocks in the sea, hence the name "Shek Pai" (Stone Row). Photo 18: Tung O and Yung Shue Ha are two quiet villages, now mainly inhabited by elderly people. The surname Zhou is predominant in these two villages. I wonder if this is Chow Yun-fat's hometown. There are two houses in Yung Shue Ha with popular murals on the walls (18 top); there is also the earliest abandoned house in the village (over 100 years old) (18 bottom). Photo 19: Mo Tat Wan. There is a beautiful and secluded beach here, as well as a ferry pier to and from Aberdeen. Photo 20: The famous Rainbow Seafood Restaurant in Sok Kwu Wan. Transportation: There are ferries from Central to Yung Shue Wan and Sok Kwu Wan, and "kaito" ferries from Aberdeen to Mo Tat Wan and Sok Kwu Wan. Warning: On the mountain road from Hung Shing Yeh Beach to Lo So Shing, there is a sign on the right side for "Scenic Pavilion." Don't go there! There's nothing to see!
