Hong Kong’s 234 outlying islands provide a wonderful escape. From the island of Cheung Chau, once an exclusive retreat for British colonials, to the Buddhist monasteries on Lantau Island, many of the islands are accessible by ferry connections from downtown Hong Kong. On our travels we experience festivals, meet the Door God, explore small towns and villages, hike the trail to a cave where an infamous pirate is reputed to have hidden his treasure, and visit Po Lin Monastery to see the largest outdoor Buddah Statue in the world. For more information check out episode #67 in the International Category.
