Lamma Island

Attraction name: Lamma Island Location: Hong Kong, China Lamma island is one of the most secluded places in Hong Kong. Take a short ferry from Central or Aberdeen to one of the ports in Lamma. You can enjoy many of the famous walkable hikes on the island where you will be treated to scenic views and fresh air. For lunch, visit one of the towns nearby the ferry ports for delicious seafood. In order to get away from the busyness of Hong Kong island, I recommend a day trip to Lamma. #hongkongtrip #Lamma

I can't tell that it's worth seeing but if you have already visited the most famous sightseeing in Hong Kong and wanna be distracted from crowded places for a bit , you can take a ferry at the Pier 4 from the Central station to Lamma island . it will take you 40 minutes to go there . the island is a little bit dirty itself , especially the beach 😞 but the view is still picturesque . the only problem you might face is a queue on the way back , we didn't expect that , because during our walk on this island we met just few people , where they were hiding we have no idea 😂 , probably they were saying in the seafood restaurants next to the piers 🤭 #hongkong #travelhongkong #travel #beach #wildbeach #rocks #nature #sea #lammaisland

HUNG SHING YE BEACH, LAMMA ISLAND The beaches on Yung Shue Wan are a bit of a walk from the main street (about 20-30 minutes depending on walking speed and distractions) and through the wilderness of Lamma. Lamma Island is served by two main ferry terminals, Yung Shue Wan and Sok Kwu Wan. Ferries between Central and Yung Shue Wan run every 20-30 minutes in the morning and evening, and every 45-60 minutes during the daytime. The journey takes about 30 minutes.

In a city of Islands offering everything from sunset hiking, golden beaches and abandoned villages, it can be difficult to know which of Hong Kong’s many many islands to visit next. With an expansive and convenient ferry service, going to and from these Islands is quick, easy and relatively cheap, then choosing where to go next is a great dilemma to have. Lamma Island, Hong Kong is a quiet and pleasant place with a laid-back feel. People come to the island to enjoy walking on trails. If you go on a Sunday or holiday, you are likely to see many locals. On Lamma Island, there is a walking trail at one end that leads to the traditional fishing village of Sok Kwu Wan, and the other end is the laid back and multicultural village of Yung Shue Wan, where visitors can find international cuisine and handicrafts. Conveniently located just a 40-minute ferry ride from the city, Lamma Island has the charms of Western and Chinese island life, where West meet East. It is a must for everybody’s itinerary. The trail which is known as the “Lamma Island Family Walk” is a great way to see the Island and is one of Hong Kong’s most loved trails. It is a gentle hike and relatively easy as it is paved and well-marked, with even refreshment stops and many resting points along the way. There are some ups and downs and some stairs and steep hikes if you wander out to the many outlook posts, just take your time You will walk along the water, through the forests and lots of vegetation, little temples, pavillions, with many fantastic views… be sure to stop frequently and take it all in… (and try to ignore the ugly power plant that is definitely an eye sore) You can start the day with the ferry to Yung Shue Wan, explore the town a bit before embarking on the light hike to Sok Kwu Wan passing through fantastic vistas of beaches, hills, local temples… stopping for a dip in the ocean or a break at the breezy pavilions along the way… then enjoy a nice seafood lunch or dinner before catching the ferry back to town. Or you could do it in reverse as well. If time is short, skip the hike and stick to either side. The ferry rides are worth it just for the views, both of the majestic Hong Kong Island skyline, and the lush greenery of the mountains as you approach Lamma. And once there, enjoy a nice seafood dinner, and perhaps a breathtaking sunset… The beach of course is a must see here and it is almost unmissable since it is located between the two ferry piers and easily reached from either. Not the biggest beach but very clean and with soft sand and lapping ocean waves its perfect for a dip or a sunbath. It is rarely too busy here and gives you a chance to take a break from hectic life and just relax. The beach has changing rooms and toilets which are functional and adequate to use. The Lamma island pig is probably the most photographed thing on the whole island. Muraled onto a random building this splash of colour really jumps out at you as #hkinsider #bucketlistreboot

Take a ferry from Central pier 5. This is one of the beautiful island you have to travel. About 20 minutes for the ferry and 10 minutes walk down to the Main Street of Ying Shui Wan, you will found different kinds of restaurants like Spain,Italian… If you like to take a swim you can go to the beach name .. I forgot 😂

Lamma is an island around 45-60mins away by ferry from Central. There are two main ferry piers on the island; one on the northern shore and the other towards the middle of the island. The northern one, Yung Shue Wan, is more popular and busy. Nonetheless, it is quite common to go into one and leave from the other. As such, Lamma is a lovely island to go for a hike. There are various hiking trails and they bring you to different points of the island. They aren't difficult by any standards and you'll have restaurants and stores in the nearby villages. More importantly, Lamma island is great for seafood. It is extreme fresh and tasty and there'll be something for everyone. On the Sok Kwu Wan Pier, seafood restaurants line the street so you'll never be short of choice. Have a meal here in the outside overlooking the sea in a very comfortable setting. Overall Lamma is a great hop away from the busyness of HK. You'll be able to get some good hiking done while also eating great and fresh seafood. Definitely recommend if you want some quiet and great food! #weekendfun #island #Lamma #HK

| A trip to Lamma Island, Hong Kong. As time goes by, it's surprising that Lamma Island has remained unchanged for ten years, still without any cars, hence the local area retains its simplicity, and time seems to stand still here. · As an outlying island less than half an hour's ferry ride from the city, it has remained a small fishing village for so many years. It is said that after several rounds of voting by the islanders on whether to allow cars, the majority chose to live with more primitive means of transportation (walking, cycling, etc.), thus preserving the island's unspoiled ecology. Here, you can truly experience the meaning of 'slow living'. · 🚢| Transportation: You can take a ferry directly to Yung Shue Wan or Sok Kwu Wan from Central Pier No. 4. The fare with an Octopus card is HKD 18.6. The last ferry on Friday is at 00:15, and we took the 23:30 one. During the day, there is a ferry every half hour, and at night, every hour. It takes 25 minutes to get to Yung Shue Wan, and Sok Kwu Wan is a bit further. 🍜| Dining: Choi's Snack. HKD 7 for a soy milk ice, HKD 55 for a three-meat noodle dish. They also have a beautiful pear flower cat. 🏠| Accommodation: Leisure Holiday House, HKD 560/night, there are also options below 500, but smaller in size. Guesthouse check-in is only until 23:00, and a fee of HKD 200 is charged for check-ins after 23:00 (as a night service fee for the guesthouse staff's overtime). 📸| Route: If you're only playing for half a day, you can choose between Yung Shue Wan or Sok Kwu Wan. They are 5km apart, and it takes 1 hour to walk between them. · 🏖Yung Shue Wan's sea water is quite cool, and few people swim. There are free showers, toilets, and changing rooms by the beach, but the showers do not have hot water, and you need to bring your own shower gel and shampoo. ⛰Lamma Island is small, and it may not meet your expectations. It's not convenient or refined, but you can feel the way life originally was.
