Lamma Island is beautifully situated southwest of Hong Kong Island. Our district ventured out one P-day to take in the sights.
The bike parking lot greets us.
There are no cars in town. Bikes
provide the most common form of transportation.
One small street in town emphasizes the need for bicycles
only. We were surprised at the number of
expats who live on this lovely, quiet island, away from the business of the city.
We see shops all along our walking route through town.
Aha! A vehicle is
spotted. These would be deemed
necessary, of course.
Outdoor restaurants start cooking lunch early. Note the bamboo baskets that provide a wide
selection of dumpling choices.
I enjoyed this bright orange home.
I’d like to know the story behind the name of this
business.
Most of the Senior District attended the excursion.
The power plant eyesore blackens the beautiful island. Hong Kong does need power.
The natural beauties were endless. The view of a sandy beach combined with the
cloud-covered mountains was breathtaking.
We stand outside the major temple on the outskirts of town.
Anyone want to guess what the sign really means?
The bright colored blooms beautified the mountain pathway.
A large cement factory operates on the island.
Our walk to the other side of the island provided endless
delights.
Rick and I ventured alone to the jutting peninsula part of the
island. The secluded path revealed these
urns (memorial shrines) – likely honoring the deceased on a nearby family.
We braved the wind to take in the rocky coast, rough beaches,
and hilly passages. Hardly a soul was on
the path. The serene beauty was well
worth the extra miles.
