Lamma Island, Hong Kong

While in Hong Kong a few months ago, we boarded a ferry to this island.

We didn’t know this then, but according to wiki, actor Chow Yun Fatt (of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) grew up on this island, where his family still operates a restaurant.

It was very different from Hong Kong…. It was quiet and the main mode of transportation was by  bicycle or on foot. There are no roads wide enough for cars.

We found a number of bicycles parked. I guess the owners leave the bikes to walk uphill – see next photo.

A very hilly bit with a narrow walkway.
