Hong Kong – Cheung Chau Island
by emily on September 13, 2009
Esther and I took a ferry to Cheung Chau Island. We ate at what the guidebook called a local seafood place (we agree, seemed very local and cheap), then rented bikes and rode around a bit. It was HOT and we were just soaked with sweat. There are no cars allowed on the island, so the “road” is really just a sidewalk and the hills were horrendous! I wasn’t sure if I was going to make some of the hills in the heat. Some of the interesting things we saw there: grown-ups riding bikes with tiny training wheels, the steepest and most crowded cemetery I’ve ever seen, and the steep, winding sidewalk/streets of the town itself.
