On Sunday 13th May, I decided to spend my last day in Hong Kong (for a while) at Lamma island. Lamma island is a small island in Hong Kong with not a lot of people and NO CARS!!(Except for a few go-cart like vehicles for carrying goods.) 
Sok Kwu Wan, Lamma Island
I took the ferry to Sok Kwu Wan and hiked for an hour over to Yung Shue Wan. I had hoped to escape to this quiet little island and avoid the crowds of Hong Kong however this was not to be the case. The moment I got off the ferry I found myself surrounded by a mainland Chinese tour ground following a woman with a megaphone and a little red flag. Not exactly what I had in mind. However with a bit of power walking I managed to get away from the tour group and do the rest of my walk in peace.
Lamma Island is lovely with heaps of natural vegetation and little beaches, however it also has a “wonderful” view of the local power station. The Chinese really know how to impress.

The view of the local power station Once I reached Yung Shaw Wan bay I sent a few hours relaxing on the beach and swim. For lunch I went to this little restaurant on the bay that Mike recommended and had their famous pigeon. It was really nice despite being served the typical Chinese way with head and all.
The latest edition to the Lamma island power supply is a single wind turbine which I spent the afternoon hiking to find. But due to poor signage I never got very close to it and this is the best shot I got.Sorry Treasure!!
Lamma Island Wind turbine!
That evening I took the ferry back to Hong Kong and had dinner with Jess, Mike and Charlie at a steakhouse in Wan Chai. Then back to the apartment to pack my bags for my trip to Guangzhou and Wenzhou.

Views of power stations are what you get when you let engineers control your society.
