Leisure Biking and swimming in Ping Chau, Lantau

It’s our first time to shop around by easy biking and leisure swimming in a remote island, Ping Chau in the North East part of Lantau.

Even though it is tiny, it contains numbers of confirmed Grade 2 and Grade 3 Historic Buildings by the government, including Peng Chau Chi Yan Public School built in 1935, Stone Houses and Leather Factory.

Let’s bike around Islands Nature Heritage Trail (Peng Chau section) and explore its ecology and industry-thriving history. Let’s see if we can find a historical stone left by once the largest match manufacturer in Hong Kong, Great China Match Factory (大中國火柴廠) founded in 1939.

Please RSVP in the waitlist first. We’ll have a birthday celebration party at one of our host’s home upon discretion.
