    Views[307] Views[288] A clear day on Victoria Harbour. I haven't seen a day this clear since I've been here!! Views[348] This is the view from my room. And this is the reason for the sewerage smell...an open sewer! Views[341] A cool little beach I found while exploring. Views[320]
     
    My room on the island - complete with sewerage smell. Views[183] Some of the old structures from the 20's and 30's are still standing throughout the villages of Lamma Island. Views[174] The Lamma Island heli-pad! Views[139] Near the Lamma wind generator. Views[124] Pagoda on a rock. A good place to sit and watch the boats. Views[169]
     
    Hung Shing Yeh beach. The best beach on Lamma Island. They keep it VERY clean and its practically deserted. Views[157] This is the view from the mountain with the Lamma wind generator on it. You can see Hong Kong Island. :) Views[142] Yum yum, lettus. Views[135] The Lamma wind power generator. Man it was a HIKE getting up onto the mountain where this thing was, but the view from up there was INCREDIBLE and I was there so early, that no one else was around. :) Views[171] Some of the grave sites along the walking path. Views[144]
     
    The stalls and shops on Main Street, Yung Shue Wan. Views[204] One of the little farms in Old Yung Shue village. Views[570] Those are fish drying in the sun incase you're wondering. Hehehe. Views[145] Yung Shue Wan village. Lamma Island is amazing, I really want to come back in the summer. Views[174] Locally caught crab with spring onion and ginger - YUMMM! They showed me the crab before they cooked it; brought it to my table in a bucket and asked if it was okay. Like I'm going to say,
     
    Sunset at Yung Shue Wan. So pretty. :) Views[147] Awesome stilt house up close. You can see how the houses are just constructed out of chip-board and wood. According to one of the locals I spoke to, the houses have been there for many years, so they must have survived a fair few typhoons! Views[168] This is a little cove where some of the local fishermen leave their boats. In the distance you can see the huge Hong Kong electric power station. It ruins the view in my opinion! Views[131] Bikes parked at Yung Shue Wan main pier, Lamma Island. Views[161] There are HEAPS of these signs along one of the walking tracks in Yung Shue Wan. There doesn't seem to be any actual cemeteries on the island - people are just burried anywhere. I saw heaps of graves dotted up mountains and along the side of walking tracks. Views[152]
     
    Crazy stilt houses on the shore at Yung Shue Wan, Lamma Island. Views[1316] One of the jungle-like walking tracks. Views[142] Sok Kwu Wan bay. Views[129] Some of the old deserted houses in Old Tung O village. Views[269] Sok Kwu Wan village. Taken from the end of the main pier. Views[1400]
     
    One of the island walking tracks. The terrain kept changing. One min it was almost like jungle and the next it was like woods. Very cool. I love these squiggly trees! :) Views[180] Sok Kwu Wan main ferry pier. Views[200] The Lamma Island ferry. It was a bumpy ride, and I heard people say they would rather live on the island that get back on the ferry!! Haha. Views[215] Tin Hau Temple, Sok Kwu Wan, Lamma Island. Isn't it sweet! I've seen smaller, but this certainly one of the smallest temples I've seen. Views[200] Not bad for a city harbour, 'eh? I wouldn't eat it though... Views[176]
     
    Sok Kwu Wan fishing village - the main village of Lamma Island. All of these buildings are seafood resturants. Business would be tuff, I imagine. Lots of competition! Views[319] View of the South China Sea from one of the mountain tracks on Lamma Island. Views[187] Some people gather at Hong Kong Island docks to see one of the local fishermen actually catch something! Views[164] Yung She Ha village, Lamma Island. These buildings are a great example of recycling. Locals have collected and re-used the building materials. Views[176] Yung She Ha bay, Lamma Island. You can see how typhoons have made the railing slant. Views[143]
     
    Yung She Ha village. The place was deserted!! I wonder where everybody was? Gone fishing perhaps. Views[156] Lookout Pagoda on top of one of the islands many granite mountains. Views[195] The coast of Sok Kwu Wan (Lamma Island). In the distance you can see Repulse Bay, Hong Kong Island. Hahaha - Repulse Bay. I should go there are see if I'm sufficiently repulsed. Views[214] Mo Tat Wan bay from above. Lamma Island. Views[389] Balcony Rock, Lamma Island. Views[359]
     
    Yung She Ha bay. Views[244] All of these granite rocks were deposited to where they now sit by volcanic activity millions of years ago during the Jurassic period. Most of the mountains on Lamma Island were once very active volcanos. Views[278] Yung She Ha bay. I sat here looking out for quite a while. I love the sound of waves crashing on the beach. Views[239] When I first saw these pots I thought they were just shrines, but I later discovered they are actually graves. The ashes of the deseced are inside andthe incense is to ward off evil sprits Views[428] This is a preserved 'Ore Fish' that was caught off the Lamma Island coast in 2001. According to island legend, anyone who gazes apon the fish is brought happiness and good luck. :) Views[4015]
