Lamma Island - Temple Street Night Market

Our day was spent at Lamma Island. We took a ferry from the Central Pier to Yung Shue Wan. Lama Island is the third largest island in Hong Kong with an estimated population of 6050 people. There is a laid-back and relaxed vibe on the island with alternative and hippie lifestyles. This you will come across by observing the locals, the shops and restaurants. There are no cars allowed on the island (great!) and as we walked through some neighbourhoods we saw that almost every house had a little garden. We walked from Yung Shue Wan Village all the way to Sok Kwu Wan, located on the other side of the island. From here we took the ferry back to Hong Kong again. A round trip to Lamma Island costs approximately HKD 48-60. We also tried Dofufa (soft tofu, tofu pudding and soybean pudding). It looks strange, the texture was strange but in the end be both enjoyed it! 

From the pier we headed to the Temple Street Night Market. There was everything from souvenirs, street food, paintings, sex toys and weed pipes. Very interesting!  We decided to have dinner nearby the market before heading home . The restaurant was so cozy, the food was amazing and the owners were lovely. Such sweet people and I hope we will have time to  eat there again before leaving Hong Kong! A very nice day  in Hong Kong with Taru!
