A short ferry ride takes you to Cheung Chau Island. A nice little walk around. It was SO crowded for the Bun Festival and parade. But that only added to the day. The parade meanders through the streets - changing direction on whim. Lots of vendors selling inexpensive trinkets and clothes. Lots of delicious food. I recommend the "fast" ferry... More

Went there during the bun festival and my..there was really a crowd. One can hardly go out from the ferry pier. There was a big human jam at the pier since lots of people stand just outside the pier to watch the parade, ignoring the police who were trying to move the traffic. The festival is quite disappointing though.. Nothing... More

Very worthwhile trip-take a ferry from Central-it takes almost an hour to get there. Very interesting walks and home to an exciting annual bun festival. Great seafood restaurants which are pretty cheap and quite a lot of history. Clean air and environment. More

Cheung Chau Island is not what most people expect when they think of Hong Kong. This small island is about an hour away by ferry which departs every half an hour or so (USD 3.00).

An hour's ferry ride (or 35 minutes on the fast ferry) takes you to this laid-back, friendly island. Full of character, old-world, charming, lovely car-free place to kill a day or two and escape from the business of HK. More

Travelled to Cheung Chau Island for the Bun Festival in April this year (2012). Although both my fiancé and I enjoyed the festival Cheung Chau Island doesn't really have much else going for it. If you do ever travel there be sure to verify your accommodation, otherwise get pictures of your room and the outdoor surroundings. Where we stayed was... More

Place — it is an island. Half an hour (if you have chosen fast boat) from Pier 2 in Central (if my memory serves). Important — motorbikes and cars are prohibited there — eat this, dear car lovers — so we had a great day on feet and bicycles (rented them right there). it's amazing how nice place could be... More

Nice day trip to get away from the city. A bit more developed nowadays but worth the side trip if you have time to spa More
