Welcome to Cheung Chau Island
Part of our itinerary in Hong Kong is a visit to Cheung Chau Island. I have to mention “Biyahe ni Drew” again because we learned this place from one of his Hong Kong episodes. This place completed our list of things to do to have a laid-back vacation in Hong Kong. The island is small but definitely has a lot of exciting things to offer. As a matter of fact, I don’t know where to start!
For us, going to Cheung Chau Island is a breeze. Well… the only challenge is the long walking to get to the Central terminal in a very cold afternoon. Cheung Chau’s pier is #5. We rode the fast ferry boat that took us 30 minutes to reach the island.
The interval of ferries is 30 minutes and not all schedules have the fast ferries available. The fare is HKD19.70 (roughly $2.54 or Php113.63).
