The summer in Hong Kong was unbearable. Nonetheless, it did not deter me from visiting Lamma Island, one of Hong Kong's southern islands. No one else in the group would want to risk a possible heatstroke there, so I took a 1-hour ferry ride to the place alone.
Besides having a beautiful landscape, which I had enjoyed viewing immensely, Lamma Island is also known for its fresh, delectable seafood. What may be less known is that Lamma Island is actually the birthplace of movie star Chow Yun Fatt, who had famously quipped "Welcome to Singapore" in the recent Pirates of the Carribean III. In short, Lamma Island provides a great escapade from the urban hassles of ever-busy Hong Kong.
After a whole afternoon of hiking and trekking, I met up with the rest of the ding gang at Times Square of Causeway Bay for dinner. We headed back for the YMCA hotel after some shopping in the vicinity, feeling thoroughly bushed at the end of the day.
