 Located
less
than
half
an
hour
by
ferry
from
bustling
downtown
Hong
Kong,
Lamma
is
an
eclectic
velting-pot
of
arty
culture
and
Chinese
tradition.
Due
to
its
proximity
to
town,
it
is
one
of
the
most
adored
weekend
getaways.
Clean
air,
golden
beaches,
delicious
seafood
and
fantastic
hiking
are
the
main
draws.

|
|
In
fact,
many
city
folk
love
the
island
so
much
that
they
have
moved
here
in
recent
years,
creating
a
thriving
community
of
expatriates
and
commuting
locals.
Bicycles
are
the
mode
of
transport
as
there
are
no
cars.
Skyscrapers
are
not
to
be
seen
as
the
buildings
are
all
low-rise. |

Two
of
the
most
popular
places
to
visit
on
the
island
are
the
villages
of
Sok
Kwu
Wan
and
Yung
Shue
Wan.
People
come
from
all
over
the
world
to
sample
the
seafood
at
Sok
Kwu
Wan's
plethora
of
terraced
restaurants
raised
on
stilts
above
the
bay.
Fresh
chilli
crab,
garlic
prawns,
deep-fried
squid
and
steamed
fish
with
ginger
and
spring
onions
are
all
firm
favourites.
Yung
Shue
Wan,
which
also
has
western-style
restaurants
and
bars
to
enjoy
offers
handicraft
shops
along
its
laid-back
main
street.
The
village
also
boasts
a
Tin
Hau
Temple
built
more
than
100
years
ago.

A
walk
between
the
two
villages
is a
great
way
to
discover
this
green
haven.
This
panoramic
hike
passes
by
swimming
coves
and
lush
greenery.
Other
paths
lead
up
and
around
Mount
Stenhouse
on
the
south
of
the
island.
Located
between
the
two
villages
is
Sham
Wan
(beach)
which
the
only
site
in
Hong
Kong
where
green
turtles
regularly
lay
their
eggs.
Sun
worshippers,
meanwhile,
head
for
the
beaches
of
Hung
Shing
Yeh
and
Lo
So
Shing. |
