Lovely weekend in Cheung Chau

   Cheung Chau, a dumbbell-shaped island, which have became the one of the must go place in Hong Kong in the decade years. It is famous of beaches like Tung Wan Beach; foods such as ‘Big fish ball’, seafood, traditional pastries ‘guo’   (粿) or ‘tornado potato’. Cheung Chau also has a long history that attract tourists to go there. In 19^th-century, a cave in Cheung Chau was a hiding place of a pirate called Cheung Po Tsai, this historical story makes people want to find out the background of a pirate.


   This little island can attracted visitors from the nearest citizens in Hong Kong to the furthest tourists from all over the world. So that’s why I have also fascinated by this beautiful island.

A huge crowd of people in Cheung Chau

   Last Sunday, I had gone to Cheung Chau with my friends. I’m very thankful for the good weather, it was a sunny day with some gentle wind. We reached Cheung Chau at about 12:30pm and we were so hungry that we were searching for a restaurant. We ate lunches that could fulfil our stomachs and keep moving on.

BIG FISH BALL :P YUM YUM

   Although we had had our lunch, we still couldn’t tolerate the smell of the famous snacks of Cheung Chau. So we went to a delicatessen that sells famous ‘Big fish ball’ and other tasty snacks. The ‘BIG FISH BALL’ was the double size of a normal fish ball, it is delicious and the fish ball was al dente that made me lingering after-taste.

   We had eaten lots of yummy stalls’ foods before going the next station, a beach where is full of sunshine - Tung Wan Beach. The beach was full of people who were enjoying their sunbaths, playing sands and swimming.

   While people were enjoying their time, one of my friends and I went along the road beside the beach and found another beach called Kwun Yam Beach. We have a little rest sitting on the sand and turn towards to the mountain of Cheung Chau. Both of us wish to go hiking, and this time we might satisfied our wishes. We walked for about 30 minute and turned back to our friends.

   We bought some souvenirs for us and our families and we left Cheung Chau at a peaceful time that sun was gradually disappeared. We had a cheerful and delighted day in Cheung Chau, and our weight might increased as we ate lots of snacks from those snacks stalls, but I so sure that I would properly eat these tasty foods though my weight will increase.
