Cheung Chau Island Walk

Cheung Chau is a small, dumbbell-shaped island about 45–55 minutes by ferry from Central, entirely car-free, where locals get around on foot or bicycle. The walk begins along the Praya waterfront promenade, past the busy fishing harbour and market, and then continues to Pak Tai Temple, built in 1783 and dedicated to the island’s patron sea god, best known for hosting the famous Bun Festival each spring. From there, we walk past traditional shophouses selling incense, herbal medicine, and the island’s signature shrimp paste, ending at Tung Wan Beach for a relaxing coastal finish. We can extend the walk to Cheung Po Tsai Cave, the legendary pirate hideout at the island’s western tip, rounding out a full day of fishing-village culture, temples, and seafood.
