Recommended things to do in Lamma Island, Hong Kong [Introduction]: Lamma Island is located in the southwest of Hong Kong Island. It is the third largest island in Hong Kong. It is named because its shape resembles the Chinese character "丫" and it is located in the south of Hong Kong. This was once a transit terminal for ships, with foreign merchant ships docked here as early as the Tang and Song dynasties. It has a long history. The island is a blend of Chinese and Western cultures. It not only has traditional fishing village life, but also many Western styles brought by foreigners. It is also the hometown of actor Chow Yun-fat. The tranquil fishing village scenery, simple cultural atmosphere and delicious seafood attract many tourists to enjoy a relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. ⛺【Local must-check-in】: • Yung Shue Wan Street: As the main residential area on the island, the street is lined with seafood restaurants, craft shops, bookstores and cafes, exuding a leisurely fishing village atmosphere. Strolling through it, you can also experience the unique combination of Chinese and Western style. Here you can check out Jianxing Yapo Tofu Pudding, which can be eaten hot or cold, and costs HK$15 a bowl. It is tender, smooth and sweet, and a delicacy not to be missed. • Hung Shing Yeh Beach: Only a 20-minute walk from Yung Shue Wan Pier, it is a famous free public beach on the island. The water here is clear and the sand is fine. It is equipped with facilities such as changing rooms and toilets. There is also a barbecue area next to it. It is a great place to cool off, sunbathe and have a picnic in the summer. However, the beach is small and there is occasionally garbage, so you need to be careful to protect the environment when visiting. • Lamma Family Trail: It is about 7 kilometers long and is built along the mountainside. Some sections of the trail offer sea views. The entire hike takes about 1-2 hours. The overall road is flat and there are three viewing pavilions along the way. From the last viewing pavilion, you can overlook the Sok Kwu Wan Pier and Aberdeen, Repulse Bay and Ocean Park in the distance. The scenery is beautiful. • Lo So Shing Beach: Compared to Hung Shing Yeh Beach, this beach has fewer tourists and also has free and complete public facilities. It takes about 30 minutes to walk from Sok Kwu Wan Pier, which is suitable for tourists who want to enjoy a quiet beach time. • Kamikaze Cave: Digged by the Japanese army during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, the cave once contained several assault speedboats that attacked Allied ships. It is full of mystery and is a must-see for history lovers. • Tin Hau Temple: There is a Tin Hau Temple in Yung Shue Wan and Sok Kwu Wan, both with a history of over 100 years. It is a place where fishermen worship the sea god and pray for peace. The temples are still popular today, allowing people to feel the strong traditional cultural atmosphere. • Rainbow Seafood Restaurant: Located on the street of Sok Kwu Wan, it is a popular seafood restaurant on the island. The seafood here is fresh and lively, caught and cooked upon order, with authentic cooking techniques. The signature pepper and salt mantis shrimp, typhoon shelter fried crab, and Tianhong secret sand shrimp are all worth a try. The average consumption per person is 200-500 Hong Kong dollars. If you purchase a group package in advance, you can also reserve a Rainbow Boat transfer and take a free night cruise on Victoria Harbour on the return trip. 🛬【Game guide】: • Recommended visit duration: 1 - 2 days.
