One of Hong Kong’s most notable outlying islands is Cheung Chau. Offering the perfect opportunity to explore this tiny dumbbell-shaped┬áisland by foot, which is bursting with unique history, culture and┬átradition, our specially designed private excursion includes a visit to the┬áislandÔÇÖs Pak Tai Temple, dedicated to the Taoist God Pak Tai and built in 1783, as well as the 17th century┬áTin Hau Temple, which attracts local fishermen who come to worship the┬áfamous Goddess of the Sea. Continue the day tour with a trek to Tung Wan Beach, a hotspot for swimmers, windsurfers and canoers that also protects 3,000-year-old Bronze Age rock carvings, before exploring the famous┬áCheung Po Tsai Cave ÔÇô a historic hideout of a famous local pirate! Cap off the afternoon with a succulent fresh seafood lunch.

Every year on the fifth to ninth days of the fourth lunar month┬á(usually at the end of April or beginning of May) the people of Cheung┬áChau get busy making papier-m├óch├® effigies of deities, preparing┬ácostumes, baking buns and building a bamboo tower for what┬áTime.com┬ádeemed one of the world’s ‘Top 10 Quirky Local┬áFestivalsÔÇÖ. Known locally as the spectacular Cheung Chau Bun Festival – a┬áweek-long event that includes Taoist ceremonies and music, a parade,┬álion dances, drum beating and an exciting Bun Scrambling Competition – theyÔÇÖre preparing┬áfor the thousands of people that will soon descend upon their tiny island.
