There are over 236 islands included in Hong Kong; many have little or no population. Lantau is by far the largest island and with the infrastructure put in place in Lantau when Hong Kong International Airport was moved from Kai Tai in Kowloon in 1997 and with the completion of Disney Land on Lantau, the population has soared.
Peng Chau is a very small island just over a square mile east of Lantau Island and west of Hong Kong Island. There are basically no cars, apart from constuction vehicles on the island so one gets around using bicycles or walking.
Peng Chau is a great place to go for good, inexpensive seafood and to get away from the traffic in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. The above picture shows some of the family who took a little trip over to Ping Chau for some seafood and hiking.
A laid-back view of the harbor.
Compare the Peng Chau picture with the above shot of Kowloon taken from Hong Kong Island as we left for Peng Chau earlier in morning.

Another shot from the hiking trail. Note the fishing boat in the center.
Another sunset from Ping Chau. It seems as though I'm taking as many sunsets as Laura H.
