Excursion Lamma island by chinese junk tour at Hong Kong

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Embark on a scenic cruise of Aberdeen harbour to Lamma Island, on this full-day relaxing tour, with a seafood lunch at an open-air restaurant.


Transfer to Aberdeen in the late morning where your Chinese-style junk (boat) awaits. Cruise slowly through Aberdeen Harbour, viewing fascinating scenes that make up everyday life in this bustling, floating community.


Leaving the harbour, head out across the East Lamma Channel for the short journey to Sok Kwu Wan on Lamma's east coast. Lamma is, in contrast to Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, peaceful and tranquil, with relatively natural scenery. Buildings higher than three storeys are prohibited and there are no automobiles but diminutive fire trucks and ambulances, as well as distinctive open-back vehicles to transport construction materials. The community's only transport means is by foot or bicycle.


Dock in Sok Kwu Wan and walk to the open-air restaurant, where a seafood lunch is served. Enjoy traditional dishes with a soft drink or local beer.


Afterwards, there is time for an exploratory stroll at your leisure before re-boarding your junk for the journey back to Hong Kong Island. Passing the south end of Ap Lei Chau, your cruise continues via Deepwater and Repulse Bay, home to many of Hong Kong's tycoons and their opulent houses. Rounding the Chum Hom Kok headland, arrive at your destination, Stanley.


Upon disembarking the junk, board the transfer coach for the hour's ride back to the pier. If you wish, meander through Stanley's famous markets before making your own way back to pier by local taxi.
