Cheung Chau is the most densely populated outlying island in Hong Kong.

There are 263 large and small islands in Hong Kong, among which Lantau Island, Cheung Chau Island, Lamma Island and Peng Chau have relatively large populations. Many mainland friends in Lantau Island are familiar with it, because the Hong Kong International Airport is just north of Lantau Island. In the past, there was no land connection between Lantau Island and downtown Hong Kong. In my parents' generation, going to Lantau belongs to? An outing? , mainly to enjoy the natural scenery far away from the city and visit the world's second largest bronze sitting Buddha, the Tiantan Buddha. Now Lantau Island has not only expressways, but also subways, so there is no need to rely on ferries to get to Lantau Island. However, the southern part of Lantau Island still retains the flavor of the suburbs, with the largest country parks and beaches in Hong Kong. Many quiet foreigners choose to live in the south of Lantau Island. Another outlying island worth visiting is Cheung Chau. Cheung Chau is the most densely populated outlying island in Hong Kong, with a population of 30,000 in 2.5 square kilometers. Cheung chau island is famous for its peace and tranquility. During this period, the whole island is vegetarian, and there will be a water scenery parade on the island. At midnight, the famous Baobao Mountain will be held. Because of the collapse of Baoshan, looting in Baoshan was once banned. Later, McDull animation told us that after McDull learned how to rob Baoshan, the sport attracted attention and resumed.

Readers who remember McDull's animation should remember that McDull originally wanted to go to Cheung Chau to learn windsurfing, but he went to Lamma Island. Lamma Island is an outlying island near the urban area of Hong Kong, which is suitable for travelers with short travel time. South of Lamma Island is the South China Sea, and its natural scenery is no less than Lantau Island and Cheung Chau. Lamma Island has three eco-tourism trails to let visitors know about the natural ecology and cultural history of the island. At the same time, Lamma Island has many seafood restaurants and western-style teahouses. Whether you want to have a big meal or have a rest, it is also a good choice. Lamma Island also gave birth to the famous film actor Chow Yun Fat.

All the above outlying islands can be reached by ferry at the pier outside Central Harbour. If you want to experience the life of islanders, you can rent a holiday home on the island, enjoy the quiet and remote side of Hong Kong and feel the natural beauty of Hong Kong. Life on the outlying islands in Hong Kong is very different from that in the urban areas. The pace of life on outlying islands is slower and more leisure.
