Hong Kong Trails: Peng Chau Island

"Peng Chau" is a quiet island located near Lantau Island. Even not so well-known to the travelers as Lama Island, you will find a unique beauty when you stand on the path of "Peng Yu" along the wonderful coast of the island.

This is not a book to tell about immigration to Hong Kong, nor a guide book to show shopping malls and restaurants for foods. This is a book specifically prepared for the backpackers and budget travelers who want to see something totally different from the prevailing image on Hong Kong as a heaven for shopping and foods. This is a unique introduction only for the travelers who want to experience the breathtaking trails in Hong Kong which have never been introduced to the backpackers before.

Travelers do not easily raise their hands for a taxi to their destination. Public transportation such as subway, monorail, buses, trains, boats and ferries, would be their main tools to get the mouth of the attractions.

How to find a bus stop or a specific pier from the exit of a MTR(“subway”) station, is the key for your successful journey to the gorgeous trails in Hong Kong. If you succeed in arriving at the entrance of the trail, no problem is remained for the rest of your journey. There are so many signposts on the trail. Therefore, if you successfully get the starting point through public transportation by yourself, there is nothing but to enjoy the fantastic trails in Hong Kong.

This book contains so many photos to explain what kind of bus or ferry you have to take, how to find a bus stop or a ferry pier without trial and error, which exit from a subway station you have to go to find the bus stop and where you have to get off the bus. For the specific purpose, many parts of this book are allocated to how to find bus stops or ferry piers for your destination.

With this book, you don’t need another map for the trails. Secondly, you can get the starting point only by public transportation such as MTR (Mass Transit Railway i.e. subway, tube etc.), buses and ferries without taking efforts to ask to Hong Kongers who have also no exact ideas about the hidden trails in Hong Kong. Thirdly, this book shows so many photos that you can find a bus stop or a ferry pier for the starting point of the trails. They will give you onsite information about where you have to get off the bus, which exit of a MTR station you have to come out of and how you to take a bus to return to your lodge. You don’t’ need to worry about both a successful access to the mouth of the trails and ways to return to your hotel.

You may come back to your hotel around 2 or 3 p.m. assuming that you leave your lodge around at 7 in the morning. Then, you can enjoy shopping or eating various foods in the afternoon. You may finish the night with the great views from Tsim Sha Tsui at Kowloon which is situated at the other side of Hong Kong Island.
