travel asia china hong kong cheung chau island
While on an architecture tour of Japan and Hong Kong, we got away from the rush of Hong Kong for a sunset trip to Cheung Chau Island.
A ferry took us to this colorful town on the island where we got to see the local markets interspursed with restaurants.
The whole waterfront was occupied almost exclusively with locals... nice to get away from the tourists.
