Congradulations to Hong Kong 360ﾟ!!!

Today I'd like to suggest a best place for 1-day tour that outside the urban of Hong Kong. It's a good place to enjoy the relaxing environment, that's "Cheung Chau". It takes only 30-55 mins ferry ride to arrive, and it's a common hot spot for local people and foreigners to spend their holidays there.


In fact, it is also famous by some delicious snacks and foods! From my last experience in summer, we ate deep-fry fishballs, shakein soup, ice-pineapple, mango rice dumplings, and etc. All of those are value-to-money and has been strongly recommended by travelers! Besides these, the seafood meals are also popular among visitors. In Cheung Chau, there are series of chinese restuarants with outdoor-seats available. It should be a great time if you sit along the seaside and enjoy your abundant seafood with your friends!

Majority of visitors come and have a one-day-trip in Cheung Chau, which is an island with 3km². With limited time to visit, the Cheung Chau's residents operate some stores to rent out bicycles for tourists to have a bicycle-ride-trip in a day. This saves much time for sight-seeing and chance to experience the relaxing rural atmosphere.

In addition, there is a Cheung Chau Beach where suits for water-activities. It always full of people to enjoy the sunshine bath and have fun especially during summer times. Besides, visitors also shouldn't miss the chance to drop by the Cheung Po Tsai Cave, so-called after the local marauding pirate who hid there from authorities before he turned himself in. It's a great adventure experience to explore "Cheung Chau History" by yourself! But we suggest that you should bring along torch and go with your friends for safety reason.

Moreover, Bun Festival held during the fourth moon in the lunar calendar (April/May). The celebration culminates in a unique and colourful street procession. This is a old culture of Cheung Chau and well-known in the world. So, don't miss the chance to visit the big event of it!

Below video can help you to understand more about the activities during the Bun Festival:
