Cheung Chau is one of the many beautiful island around Hong Kong and holds so much attraction to visitors. The beach at Tung Wan is truly special, with the jewel of the South China Sea right there for all.

The small by-roads in the narrow winding streets of the interior of the town, show a close community and lifestyles that are less concerned with wealth and more taken up with quality of life and family.

Home made snacks are sold outside small shops and dwellings, unfamiliar and fearful.

Entering the water is like a warm bath, which barely refreshes from the oppressive heat and humidity. Swimming is easy and safe because of the shark net that cordons off one part of the beach.

The popping of the crustaceans under the surface reminds you that it is the open sea and not a manmade pool.

The beach and water are kept pristine and all types of people come here to enjoy the fresh air, sun and water.
