Cheung Chau is an island located southwest of HongKong. It is a small island in the shape of a dumbbell, phoenix rental car hence called DumbBell island. It is thicker on both ends and thinner on the center with a distance of about 150 meters between two sides. The swimming and surfing side where I used to hang out is located in the east side of the island and is called the Tung Wan Beach. The picture below was taken in the late afternoon and the sun goes down on the opposite side so my picture is kind of dark here.
The picture above is taken by Lewi Hirvela, you can click the picture to see his Flicker photos. In this photo you see the most part of the Tung Wan beach and the south end where you can see the Warwick Hotel in the distance. Towards the south end of the beach lies another smaller beach known as Kwun Yam Wan beach. Some people prefer to go there instead of the bigger Tung Wan beach because it is more quite and have more privacy. Most visitors don t know about the smaller beach.
This picture of Kwun Yam Wan beach was taken in the veranda of The Warwick Hotel. I wasn t aware of a smaller beach nearby so I thought it was just an extension beach but I found out later that it is indeed a different beach.
The pier or west side is known as the Kwan-yin Wan Beach. Cheung Chau Island is half hour ride from HongKong Island for fast ferry and one hour for slower ferry. Many people come here for relaxation, hiking or dinning at the seafood restaurant. Seafood here are exceptionally cheaper compared phoenix rental car to most seafood restaurants in HongKong. Watch the sunset at the west Harbor phoenix rental car and the beautiful sunrise at the other side.
You will see lots of small boats at the west side of the island. Along the shorefront there are many seafood restaurant. It is noted that most seafood restaurant in Cheung Chau Island has much lower price compared to other seafood restaurant in Hongkong islands like the Lamma island and Discovery bay.
My most favorite thing to do in Cheung Chau Island is to dine in the seafood restaurants. The Human Head Rock which I haven t actually seen personally seems very interesting. But I saw this photograph from hkoutdoors.com  (scroll to the middle part) and this picture phoenix rental car really phoenix rental car looks like human or maybe alien head. I have seen other photos of human head rock but this is the closest one. I remember hiking to the south part and going up stairways. There was a rental trike and you can drive towards the north along the shore front. I hope you like these pictures of a beach in Cheung Chau Island. Please like, retweet or share this site, thanks.
