Lamma Island

[pelayo]

Relatives are coming for a visit and we want to take them to Lamma Island and land at Yung Shue Wan and hike to Sok Kwu Wan with them. But we want to take our 5 year old twins with us. Is the hike easier one way than another (uphill vs down). How long did it take? How far is it?

Would you take kids? What about taking the kids bikes. Is the path smooth?

Hi pelayo:

I’d take kids – assuming that they are ok walking, and you have a bit of patience when need rest stops, diversions etc.
From Yung Shue Wan maybe easier, as I think hill climb stretches seem easier, more in bursts (both places at sea level…)
Takes maybe a couple of hours, but add a bit more for the kids.
No steps en route that I recall; but maybe leave the bikes as several uphills where couldn’t cycle (if 5 yr old), and main downhill maybe a bit long and steep for safe cycling by kids.

There’s now fisherman’s village tourist place at Sok Kwu Wan, which I’m yet to add to article; worth a look I’m told.
