Peng Chau
坪洲
A small island of less than one square kilometre, with an old street, temples and the ruins of a former match factory. It is ideal for a relaxed half-day trip.
Peng Chau lies off the east coast of Lantau. A ferry from Central Pier 6 takes about 30 to 40 minutes. The island has no cars. The old street is lined with provision shops, tofu pudding stalls and small cafés. Tin Hau Temple was built in 1792. From Finger Hill you can watch the sunset from a viewing platform. The island also has the ruins of an old match factory and a lime kiln, as well as a circular trail around the island. You can walk the whole island in half a day. With few visitors and a quiet atmosphere, Peng Chau feels more like a local fishing community than Cheung Chau or Lamma Island.
