Hong Kong - 23rd October 2005 - Weekend stop-over

The Island of Lamma

Day 2 in Hong Kong. I got up early and caught the 8 a.m. ferry from Central pier to the island of Lamma to the south east of HK island. Lamma is inhabitted but has no cars anywhere on the island. There's a paved footpath that you can follow all around the island and I walked the full length of it, including a "stroll" up to the top of Mount Ling Kok Shan (250 m).
