Outer Islands Attractions

Hong Kong encompasses 235 outlying islands in addition to Hong Kong Island. Many of these are small, uninhabited rock piles jutting out of the sea. The largest of the islands is Lantau, which is twice the size of Hong Kong Island.
Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong
Peng Chau, lying off the northeast coast of Lantau Island, has a population of 10,000. There are no cars on the island. The inhabitants live mainly by fishing and farming. There is a temple, built in 1792, dedicated to the goddess Tin Hau.

The island can be reached by the Lantau ferry, which operates daily from early morning to late in the evening.
