A
Lamma Island
The third-largest island after Lantau and Hong Kong, Lamma is known for its lively pubs, seafood restaurants, beaches and hikes. The laid-back lifestyle, strong feeling of community and relatively low rental make it a popular place with expats. The most interesting way to see a good portion of the island is to follow the 4km-long 'Family Trail' between the two main villages, Yung Shue Wan and Sok Kwu Wan, which takes a little over an hour, and return to Central by ferry from there.

Ap Lei Chau
On the southern side of the harbour is Ap Lei Chau (Duck’s Tongue Island), one of the most densely populated places in the world. It used to be a centre for building junks, but now it’s covered with housing estates, including a huge one called South Horizons. There’s not much to see there, but a walk across the bridge to the island affords good views. From Aberdeen Promenade you can get a boat across to Ap Lei Chau (adult/child under 12 $1.80/1). Ap Lei Chau is also a destination for bargain hunters drawn to its discount outlet stores.
