Floating Light on the Island: Discovering Silent Art in Peng Chau

Peng Chau is a small island where time seems to stand still. Located about 40 minutes by ferry from Central, the moment you step ashore, you're greeted by the charm of a fishing village and the nostalgic sight of old houses. Here, there are no cars—only bicycles, cats, and an unexpected artistic atmosphere. While the island's famous "Grandma's Tofu Pudding" has been a local favorite for years, what captivates me even more are the murals and installation art scattered throughout. Particularly noteworthy is the "Peng Chau Arts Festival," curated by local artists, which transforms alleys, abandoned houses, and ruins into artistic spaces, exuding a quiet yet powerful presence. Walking along the coast, you can spot remnants of old handcraft factories, such as the former match factory and jade processing workshops. Despite their dilapidated state, they still carry traces of the industrial era. As dusk falls, sitting at the pier and gazing at the sea, the interplay of distant cargo ships and the glowing horizon offers city dwellers a rare moment of spiritual solace.
