Park Island (MaWan Island)

We only have three Saturdays left in Hong Kong. Shirl went to the Asia Area Womens’ Conference and then out for the afternoon with Ashley. I went out to Park Island (Ma Wan Island) and what a treat. It was a mix between the modern residential area and stilt villages. It is a support island for the Tsing Ma Bridge before it continues over to Lantau. A few weeks ago, we hiked to the top of a mountain at night to take pictures of this beautiful bridge, but from Park Island, you are taking pictures from under the bridge, a totally different view.



I hiked and hiked and then decided to get on a circular bus and see more of the island. I came back to the ferry terminal and took five and then caught the ferry to Tsuen Wan to see this city. It had a spectacular park that went on and on and on. Playgrounds for children, water falls and shopping areas. The only way off Park Island is by bus and ferry, there are no cars on the island. The ferries are big high speed ferries departing for Central and Tsuen Wan (major MTR station). I returned back to Park Island, because I wanted to take the ferry back to Central.

Wish we had more time, there is so much to see.
