Escape the hustle without leaving the city: Slow village life in Sok Kwu Wan, Lamma Island

#HongKongInDepth
If you long for a true deep island experience, consider taking a ferry from Central to Sok Kwu Wan on Lamma Island. Unlike the bustling Yung Shue Wan, Sok Kwu Wan is as peaceful as a watercolor painting, with fishing boats and rippling waves reflecting the most authentic fishing village scenery. Strolling along the seaside path, you can see the old dried fish factories, temples built by villagers, and handmade herbal tea shops—every brick and tile full of warmth and character. This place has also been the filming location for several movies, such as "The Way We Are" and "Love in a Puff," where Lamma Island appears pure and realistic on screen. At sunset, why not enjoy a bowl of fresh fish congee at a seaside tea house and watch the sun slowly sink below the horizon? It’s life, and it’s a view.
