The island of Peng Chau, or ‘flat island’ — covering less than 1 sq km — offers a relaxing retreat with easy trails and a taste of real village life without the bustle of holidaymakers, yet it’s less than an hour’s ferry ride from the central business district on Hong Kong Island.
According to historical records, business activities on Peng Chau were thriving halfway through the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), and in some areas, time seems to have stood still for decades. Despite its small size, the charming island is dotted with Instagram and photography spots — from remains of an old factory, beaches and temples, to street arts which add vibrancy to this tranquil community.
Take a ferry from Central Pier No. 6, which is accessible from MTR Hong Kong Station. The trip takes about 25–40 minutes.
After your visit, you can take a ferry back to Central. Alternatively, you may continue the journey by boarding a ferry to nearby Mui Wo or Chi Ma Wan on Lantau Island, or Cheung Chau.
