Basic introduction

Ping Chau is an island of Hong Kong, which belongs to an outlying area administratively. The island is located in the southeast of Discovery Bay and the northeast of Mui Wo on Lantau Island, covering an area of 0.98 square kilometers. The island has no bathing beach and tourist attractions, so there are few holiday visitors. Because of this, it is very quiet. You can continue to take the ferry to the Sidu seminary on Lantau Island. In the west of the island, there is a ferry pier from Hong Kong Island. Near the ferry pier, there is the only shop street in the island. It is very narrow. Two people can only walk side by side, about 500 meters long. There are meat shops and grocery stores on both sides. People who want to taste the local atmosphere can take a walk. There is a small temple in the middle of the street. There is no complete restaurant on the island, so it's difficult to eat. You can buy some fish from the fishermen who go to the boat wharf of the xiduhui temple and enjoy them at Xinguang restaurant. There is a 200 year old Tin Hau Temple and a romantic fishing port on the island. Here, you can enjoy the scenery and enjoy the nature. Pingzhou's small bazaar still retains its old style, attracting many tourists to visit. There are also ferries and small barges from Pingzhou to the area from Discovery Bay to Mui Wo along the coast of Lantau Island. Those who are interested in the temple can take small barges from the old pier of Pingzhou.

There are some ceramic shops near the wharf selling hand-painted ceramic crafts,

There are also seafood restaurants. You can buy fresh seafood in the market and give it to the restaurant for cooking. There is also a 200 year old temple opposite the old pier
