Hong Kong’s third largest island, Lamma (13.55 km2), is an eclectic melting-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 visited places 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.
Sun worshippers, meanwhile, head for the beaches of Hung Shing Yeh and Lo So Shing.
