Chung Chau 'Long Island'

Cheung Chau is our destination for today. Paul joined us.
First we had to take the ferry to the other side of Hong Kong Island. From there we had to take another ferry to Cheung Chau.

Cheung Chau is a small island 10 km southwest of Hong Kong Island. Traditionally the island was a fishing village and there are still fishing fleets working from the harbour. However in recent years the island has become a major tourist attraction, as we could see from all the tourist shops on the island.

The roads on Cheung Chau are very narrow. Normal motor traffic is not possible. Therefore there are small specially designed mini-fire engines, ambulances and police cars.

We walked for a little while and then we wanted to drink something. But the tourist season had not begun so nothing was opened yet. Finally we ended up at a hotel, where we ate Dim Sum.
After our lunch we walked through the city centre, where the roads are even narrower than we’ve already seen.

It was a very warm day, so we didn’t stay to long on the island.
We took the ferry back and then the wind took up.

Back in Hong Kong Island we had dinner in a little French bistro. We had to wait very long on our dinner, but it tasted very good.
