Cheung Chau, Fishing island in Islands District, Hong Kong

The dumbbell-shaped island spans 2.45 square kilometers with two granite masses connected by a narrow strip of land in the middle section.

The island functioned as a strategic port during the Qing Dynasty, facilitating trade between mainland China and the developing Hong Kong region.

The Pak Tai Temple, constructed in 1783, stands as a central religious structure where locals honor the sea deity through traditional ceremonies.

Ferries depart every 30 minutes from Central Pier in Hong Kong, making regular connections to the island throughout the day and evening.

The annual Bun Festival features participants climbing a 60-foot tower to collect plastic buns while children parade through streets in traditional costumes.
