Bicolor 5th Gear September 29, 2008 Share September 29, 2008 is it expensive to eat there? i think i am getting a bit confused. is Tai O the same the lamma island? Tai O is on Lantau Island, the same island as the airport, Disneyland, the big Buddha etc. Lantau Island is big, bigger than HK Island itself, so expect to spend some time travelling around if you try to cover more than three places at Lantau in the same day. Lamma Island is another, much smaller island, but there are no cars or buses on it so you'll have to get around pretty much by walking (not sure if you can rent bicycles). But anyway if you go there just for the seafood and for a leisurely walk its not a problem. Lamma Island seafood is not bad, I've eaten there quite a few times. There are two main parts of the island which most people visit, Yung Shue Wan and Sok Kwu Wan. The former has a couple of seafood restaurants, but mostly an eclectic mix of other types of food like Western/Italian etc. Sok Kwu Wan is home to a lot of seafood restaurants, can't remember exactly which one is best but in general the food is fairly good and fresh. A third island, Cheung Chau, lies between Lamma and Lantau, heard the seafood there is also very good although I haven't tried myself. Another place famous for seafood is Sai Kung (I live here), but in actual fact the restaurants here pale in comparison to those on Lamma or even in the urban areas, so I wouldn't bother. Summer sales are actually over long ago, the autumn designs have all appeared. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shull Turbocharged September 29, 2008 Share September 29, 2008 (edited) i went there for 1 week in july... day 1: arrv 730pm..eat dinner at central day 2: buy PC for my aunt(who we are staying with) at Mongkok day 3: Disneyland day 4: Shopping day 5: Oceanpark, Stanley bay and the Symphony of Lights at TST day 6: Shopping, evening went up The Peak day 7: Shopping, mid-level escalator day 8: Shopping, flight to SG at 9pm..almost missed the flight..me and my gf the very very last one to board..whole plane waiting for us.. we took SQ btw.. 8 days..don't even have time to go macau, zhu hai and shenzhen... interesting. i be going for 6D5nites. Planning go shenzhen, macau. Creative_tec, maybe u can consider going to warehouse shopping at mtr Tungzhong, handbags for ladies at TST. computer stuff at mongkok. Which hotel u staying btw? i be staying at stanford. the BIG warehouse mall at Tung Zhung is good place for shopping adidas and nike stuff.. i bought NIKE and Quiksilver shirt there which will otherwise cost twice the price in SG.. also, i walked the whole stretch of nathan road from TST to Mongkok shopping..really ALOT of things to buy.. but i went in the summer..temp hovering at 30+ degrees and humidity abt 95%..knn..go out walk for 10 mins under the sun, perspiring like fark liao.. also, mid july is right smack during their sch holidays..all the parks crowded like fark..esp alot of PRC peeps.. they really spoil everyone's mood(incl the locals) with their nonchalant attitude..
