Touring Hong Kong Outlying Islands
 
Cheung Chau Island Tour
 

The Cheung Chau Island Tour gives you the perfect opportunity to explore this beautiful island and soak up the culture and traditions as well as visiting the historical sites. This tiny dumbbell-shaped Island is a unique world possessing a fascinating cultural heritage.

Pak Tai Temple
The temple is dedicated to Pak Tai, a Taoist god also called the 'Supreme Emperor of the Dark Heaven'. Built in 1783, the temple's layout includes traditional Chinese elements such as ceramic figurines on the roof ridges, murals containing auspicious motifs and stone lions in the forecourt.

Tung Wan Beach & Rock Carving
This is a beautiful beach popular for swimming, windsurfing and canoeing. The 3,000-year-old Bronze-Age rock carvings are located near the water's edge and feature geometric graphics and abstract animal images, which are quite interesting.

Wooden Sampan Ride
Take a 20-minute sampan ride and cruise around the typhoon shelter to see the old fishing community still living on their boats. The cruise includes West Bay and the famous Cheung Po Tsai Cave, the hideout of a famous local pirate!

Tin Hau Temple
The temple was built in the 17th Century. The temple attracts lots of followers and fisher folks come to worship the Goddess of the Sea, especially during the annual Tin Hau Festival.
