Escape the Hustle and Bustle in Hong Kong 🇭🇰
#timetotravel
Located only 8 kilometres from the west of Hong Kong Island, Peng Chau is easily accessible and only a ferry ride away from the Central Ferry Pier Number 6, which makes it a perfect day trip destination!!
Peng Chau is home to only 6,000 inhabitants, therefore, as compared with other more popular islands on Hong Kong, for example, Cheung Chau and Mui Wo, Peng Chau offers a relaxing retreat for visitors.
Since I am from Hong Kong, I did not go all tourist mode when visiting Peng Chau. I skipped all the temples and beaches, and spent my day visiting cafes, the leather factory and the outdoor art installations in the junkyard on Wing On Street.
Up until the Japanese Occupation, Peng Chau used had a booming leather business. Thankfully, the factory site was not demolished. At the front of the factory site, you can find loads of coffee shops and other retail outlets; and at the back, there is a massive outdoor junkyard installation. It is definitely worthwhile paying a visit.
If you are planning a visit to Peng Chau after this post, I would also recommend visiting “Island Table Grocer Café”, their apple pies are one of the best I have had!!

Stay away from the bustling city and go to the outlying islands to enjoy a leisurely feeling. Compared to Changzhou, Pingzhou is relatively quiet. Although there are fewer shops, they are all a good and distinctive shop. There are also excellent cafes. Go to the beach to enjoy the sea breeze and blow the water with the residents. When the sunset is too late, you can see the sunset near the pier when you return to the pier!
A good choice for an outlying island vacation! Compared to Changzhou and South Y Island, Pingzhou is relatively simple and has fewer attractions, so there are relatively few people. There are bicycle trails, mountains, no-man beach, street snacks, libraries, and gymnasiums on the island. In fact, it is enough to spend two days and one night on weekend vacations.
Ping Chau Island is a small island located in the southwest of Hong Kong, opposite Lantau Island. [View] Beautiful, there is basically no car on the island [interest] like the natural scenery, leisurely will like it, even if you want to shop [cost-effective] high!
Want to blow the wind of the western Pacific Ocean, unexpectedly came to this original ecological island, like do not want. Few tourists are just lazy cats and old people playing cards and basking in the sun. The waves beat gently on the beach, and shells were everywhere. Contracting a beach and wandering around an island is a beautiful word! Supermarkets, fairs, kindergartens, middle schools, churches, gymnasiums and Mazu temples are all available on the island. A Bay separates two worlds, and the island blossoms in front of the big sea house, while the sea is an international metropolis with inches of land. What kind of life do you really want to pursue?
Pingzhou is really a good place. Compared with Changzhou, there are fewer people. It is a pleasure to go out and hang out during Zhou Wei.
Although Ping Chau is a small island, you can rent a bicycle to travel around the island, while riding a bicycle, while enjoying the scenery, already feel very satisfied.
