Peng Chau is the smallest Hong Kong island connected by a major ferry service to the mainland. It gets few tourists, has even fewer obvious attractions, and has basically been left to itself for decades. This is what attracted us to start running walking tours on the island two years ago, and it’s what led our director, Daisann McLane, to pack up her belongings after 14 years living in Central Hong Kong, and take a chance on a quiet place that’s only accessible by boat crossing from anywhere.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A year and a few months after her move, Daisann’s only regret about moving to Peng Chau is that she did not do it sooner. The island may be tiny (it’s less than one square kilometer) but it’s traditions run deep. With 6 major temples, and several martial arts schools, there is a local festival going on somewhere almost every week. Then there is the daily pleasure of being able to watch neighbors go out to sea in small boats, returning with buckets of local fish and seafood from Hong Kong waters. (And the bigger pleasure of being able to buy that fish steps from your door). For the restless, there are walks that lead to secret beaches or tall lookout points, and there are small ferries that go to other islands where you can take a more challenging hike up some of Hong Kong’s tallest mountains.<\/p>\n

Living on the island has made our Island Life tour richer and more interesting for our guests. We now know the best fishmonger, the tastiest places to grab dim sum or vegetarian lunch. and we have discovered the interesting back trails and shortcuts to the best photo op places.<\/p>\n

Speaking of photos, we have collected a few of our favorite Peng Chau vistas in this photo album, below. While we know that you’re probably coming to Hong Kong for our skyscrapers, dense urban neighborhoods, and our famous dim sum, noodles, and Cantonese food, we hope you’ll also leave some time during your stay to come visit our Magic Island.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column]
