Lamma Island

Lamma Island is the fourth largest island in Hong Kong. It got its name because it is located to the south of Hong Kong and its shape resembles the character '丫', which is pronounced as 'ya' in Chinese, hence the name Lamma Island. Transportation to and from the island relies entirely on ferries. It takes 40 minutes to travel from Central Pier No. 4 to Sok Kwu Wan, and the ticket price on holidays is $19. The itinerary introduced here allows you to enjoy the scenery on both the north and south sides of Lamma Island. After arriving at Sok Kwu Wan, you will walk along the Lamma Island Family Trail to Yung Shue Wan, passing by Tin Hau Temple, Kamikaze Caves, Hung Shing Yeh Beach, and then stroll around Yung Shue Wan Main Street and have dinner. Lamma Island is mostly mountainous, with a population of about six thousand people, most of whom live in the relatively flat northern area of Yung Shue Wan, which is suitable for farming. However, there are also residents living in Sok Kwu Wan in the south.

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.

| 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.

Every time I go to Hong Kong, I feel like most of my time is spent in the urban areas, not knowing that the islands of Hong Kong are also so beautiful and comfortable! Here, there is a very primitive ecological environment and natural landscape, where you can experience the local customs, take a boat out to sea, hike, play in the sand on the beach, and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. If you also like Hong Kong, remember to set aside a day for Lamma Island next time you come. It's a small fishing village with a very slow pace of life, and just casually strolling around the island can feel very healing! ✅ How to get to Lamma Island? You can take a ferry directly to Lamma Island from Pier No. 4 in Central (Lamma Island has two piers: Sok Kwu Wan and Yung Shue Wan). You can start at Sok Kwu Wan and then play all the way to Yung Shue Wan. ✅ Tour Route Lamma Fisherfolk's Village—Sok Kwu Wan Ferry Pier—Tin Hau Temple in Sok Kwu Wan—Kamikaze Caves—Rain Shelter Pavilion—Hung Shing Yeh Beach—Lamma Power Station—Yung Shue Wan ✅ Recommended Check-in Spots 1️⃣ Lamma Fisherfolk's Village You can get up close with some marine animals, such as devil fish, starfish, horseshoe crabs, pufferfish, etc., and you can also fish and pull fishing nets to experience the life of fishermen. 2️⃣ Sok Kwu Wan For dining, you can come here, a quiet and comfortable little fishing village, with a whole street of seafood restaurants. I recommend 'Lamma Rainbow Seafood Restaurant', where the ingredients are fresh, and the portions are particularly large. I love their salt and pepper mantis shrimp, so delicious! 3️⃣ Hung Shing Yeh Beach The water is crystal clear, and the sand is very fine. You can swim, sunbathe, barbecue, play beach volleyball, etc. It's also the place where I feel the most relaxed. 4️⃣ Yung Shue Wan Main Street A leisurely and romantic street with many dining options, coffee shops, bars, and stores selling handmade crafts, very lively. ✅ Tips ❶ Be sure to choose a sunny day, the sea will be particularly blue, suitable for a leisurely stroll, and you will find scenery at every step, with the sea breeze blowing very comfortably and healing. ❷ It's best to prepare or exchange Hong Kong dollars in advance, as many shops on the island only accept cash. ❸ It's completely enough to visit the island's attractions in one day, but also pay attention to the return ferry schedule, the last ferry back to Central is at 23:00.
