Cheung Chau

While I was in Hong Kong I took a ferry to Cheung Chau, one of the smaller islands in the area, for a couple of hours. As it's a popular day trip for everybody living downtown, and I went on a Saturday, it was quite busy.
There are no cars allowed on the island, so it was quite a nice place to look around. Above you can see one of the dragon boats that HK is famous for, with many bikes and bike-carriages in the background.

I think other than tourism, that the main industry is fishing, so here you can see a couple of fisherman in their tiny little fishing boats.
The coast was really nice, but unfortunately the weather was really dark and hazy, so none of the pictures turned out very well.
