Sok Kwu Wan

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:45:36

Though still a small settlement (population 500), Lamma's secondary village of Sok Kwu Wan supports at least a dozen waterfront seafood restaurants popular with boaters. The small harbour is filled with rafts from which cages are suspended and fish are farmed. It's a lovely place to end your Family Trail walk with a seafood feast and a few cold beers. There's also a totally renovated Tin Hau Temple (天后廟) dating back to 1826.

Sok Kwu Wan's peaceful vibe may not last much longer, as there are plans for a new housing development in the village's abandoned quarry. The high-rise apartments would house some 5000 residents, nearly doubling Lamma's population.
