Cheung Chau Island, Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a weird entity - it is considered a city, or a "special administrative region" by the Chinese government, but it is actually composed of one main island (Hong Kong Island), a peninsula on the Chinese mainland, and a number of outlying islands. One of those outlying islands is called Cheung Chau, and is home to a small fishing village and not much else (a completely different feel than the teeming crowds on the peninsula and HK island). We took a day trip to check it out.

Waiting for the ferry

As I said, it's primarily a fishing island.

A traditional fishing boat

The harbor had a boat or two in it...

The main thoroughfare in the village

The island is too small for cars
and trucks, so everyone rides these
tricycles or small motorcycle carts
