Hong Kong Islands

pui o beach tinyimageHong Kong Island is just one of over 200 islands and islets in the SAR. While many of these are little more than rocks, there are islands that are home to thriving communities, and others where villages are partly or wholly abandoned. Exploring them, you can stroll along narrow streets, hike trails across hills and headlands, admire waterfalls, and relax on beaches.

Cheung Chau outings

Though just three kilometres (1.8 miles) long, Cheung Chau boasts plenty of variety for visitors. In the middle is an easy–going village, with few buildings higher than three storeys, narrow streets, and no cars except the scarcely seen police car. West of the village is a harbour that’s home to Hong Kong’s main fishing fleet; there are beaches to the east, and to north and south are granite hills with convoluted coastal trails.

Cheung Chau (長洲)

cheung chau beachCheung Chau (長洲) looks tiny on a map of Hong Kong, yet there's far more to it than may first appear. With coastal trails, beaches, small rural valleys, and a village dotted with temples but with only one (police) car, it boasts plenty to see and do in a day.
