Hello My Dear Great Ones,
Normally during Chinese New Year holidays we would be skiing in Japan, but sadly covid killed that off. So we decided to explore Cheung Chau island for a few days and were happy to so. Some info from google:
Cheung Chau is an island 10 kilometers southwest of Hong Kong Island. Cheung Chau Island has long been one of Hong Kong's most popular island retreats. The Cheung Chau Island meaning Long Island in Chinese, is an Island that is about 10 km. It is also nicknamed the dumbbell island owing to its unique dumbbell shape. It is one of the oldest inhabited places in the erstwhile British territory of Hong Kong and has a population of 22,740 inhabitants as of the 2011 census.
A trip to the Island village should be strongly considered if you want to have a peek into a typical Hong Kong Chinese fishing community. The community has now grown into a popular tourist spot but with limited modern conveniences. Usually good for a day-long trip, it is recommended if you like a ferry ride through the serene waters to reach the Island, wants to spend time swimming or relaxing on the beach. Or If you want to discover the local fishing village life and want to indulge in some mouth-watering seafood fare in traditional style.
Some wide open plazas filled with restaurants and bike rental places.
The alley and tight roads in the village are great.

Cheung Chau is a great place!
Have a great week!
Love adios and ping on!
