Peng Chau (Dec 2004)

Peng Chau, literally the 'flat island' is a small island with a floating community of fishermen and village population. The rural lifestyle is a big attraction to city dwellers. The nice thing about Peng Chau is that you can never get lost here. It's so small that you can walk around the island in an hour. Besides the quiet ambiance, there is the Kum Fa Temple dedicated to Lady Kum Fa who is said to help fertility.
