If the sun is out go there. Great spot to stroll along the esplanade and back streets. The seafood was so fresh and so many flavours.

We were lucky to visit on Dragon boat day and enjoyed the noise & spectacle of the racing dragon boats. Although the small town was crowded, we were able to enjoy a reasonably priced lunch of dim sum followed by a short walk to the swiimming beach where we could relax on the clean but gritty sand.

We headed out here for an afternoon visit and did some walking. Well worth a look - it's a small island, with a real working fisihing port, and some stunning beaches that are good for watersports (especially windsurfing). Seafood in the restaurants near the harbour is fresh and delicious! Gets you out of the city for a day and provides... More

Very interesting place where you can see a bit of the old Hong Kong. Lovely beaches. Great not to have any cars to watch out for. Lovely seafood.

Visited this wonderful little haven when I was there in 1988 and advised by the Tourist Bureau that it has become less of an attraction Will go next visit to see for myself

A lovely island to visit to get a real escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Try to go at this time of year and take in the bun festival where the locals build towers of buns. Contestants then have to climb up the towers to collect buns. The higher they go they more value each bun has.... More

This outer island of Hong Kong is delightful and easy to get to from the #5 ferry dock on Hong Kong Island (Central District). Alllow 4 to 5 hours for a round trip, enjoy good seafood on the island harbour promenade, and take a dip in the clean supervised beach. No cars allowed on the island, so great for walking... More

While in Honk Kong you must if time permits visit this little Island, it's so laid back and relaxing with lots of restaurants lining the harbour front actually I wish I'd spent one night there. You can hire bicycles to tour round the island or do what I did just relax and have a good meal and a very this... More

Shops are interesting and there is so much fresh produce..Prices are cheaper then in Hong Kong. There is a beach with showers and changing facilities.The festivals are special and the... More
