香港旅遊景點介紹---南丫島(Lamma Island)

twintwin

Located less than half an hour by ferry from bustling downtown Hong Kong, Lamma is an eclectic melting-pot of arty culture and Chinese tradition. Due to its proximity to town, it is one of the most adored weekend getaways. Clean air, golden beaches, delicious seafood and fantastic hiking are the main draws.

In fact, many city folk love the island so much that they have moved here in recent years, creating a thriving community of expatriates and commuting locals. Bicycles are the mode of transport as there are no cars. Skyscrapers are not to be seen as the buildings are all low-rise.

Two of the most popular places to visit on the island are the villages of Sok Kwu Wan and Yung Shue Wan. People come from all over the world to sample the seafood at Sok Kwu Wan's plethora of terraced restaurants raised on stilts above the bay. Fresh chilli crab, garlic prawns, deep-fried squid and steamed fish with ginger and spring onions are all firm favourites. Yung Shue Wan, which also has western-style restaurants and bars to enjoy offers handicraft shops along its laid-back main street. The village also boasts a Tin Hau Temple built more than 100 years ago.

A walk between the two villages is a great way to discover this green haven. This panoramic hike passes by swimming coves and lush greenery. Other paths lead up and around Mount Stenhouse on the south of the island.

Located between the two villages is Sham Wan (beach), the only site in Hong Kong where green turtles regularly lay their eggs.

Sun worshippers, meanwhile, head for the beaches of Hung Shing Yeh and Lo So Shing.

南丫島是香港境內的第三大島嶼，面積僅次於大嶼山和香港島。


從繁囂的香港島市區出發，只需半小時船程，便可到達這個中西匯聚、洋溢着濃濃藝術氣息的小島。由於靠近市區，這裏是周末休閒的好去處。清新空氣、美麗沙灘、海鮮料理及郊遊遠足，都令這小島格外迷人。


在近年，有不少城市族和外籍人士都因為鍾愛這小島，而遷居到這裏，建立了一個非原住民的社群。島上沒有汽車，自行車就成為代步工具。平房式的建築四處皆是，獨欠巍峨高樓。


榕樹灣

榕樹灣位於南丫島的西北面，是南丫島的主要村落之一，交通方便，從中環搭乘渡輪直達，航程只需約30分鐘。榕樹灣也匯聚了不少提供歐陸及亞洲料理的小餐館、酒吧及手工藝精品店。遊人在享用美味海鮮盛宴之餘，還可以欣賞迷人海景。榕樹灣附近，還有一座逾百年歷史的天后古廟，廟內展示有古老鯨骨。


索罟灣

除北面的榕樹灣外，南面的索罟灣是島上另一條主要村落，景色宜人。遊人可在中環乘搭渡輪直達索罟灣，航程只需約30分鐘。索罟灣開設了不少建築在海灣之上的高蹺式露天餐館，吸引了不少饕客慕名而來品嘗海鮮料理，辣椒炒螃蟹、蒜泥蒸蝦、酥炸鮮槍烏賊和薑蔥蒸魚都是推薦。索罟灣也是家樂徑的起點，主山徑步道經過怡人的泳灘，穿過綠油油的草叢，更有壯麗廣闊的美景沿途相伴，其他步道則通往小島南端的山地塘，再到達深灣，步程約需40分鐘，但路徑較為曲折。經過下山一段路程後，便到達天后宮，廟內有極富中國傳統色彩的古舊神像、紅絲綢橫額和燈籠。


深灣

深灣是考古學的研究據點。根據歷史記載，在新石器時代中期（公元前4000-2200年）已有人於深灣聚居；這兒更是全香港唯一仍有綠甲海龜定時前來產卵的海灘。深灣於1999年被劃設為限制地區，尤其每年6至10月綠海龜繁殖季節限制遊人進入。


洪聖爺灣

洪聖爺灣離榕樹灣碼頭不過20分鐘步程，是著名的海灘，水清沙幼，游泳愛好者和曬日族不可不到！


蘆鬚城灣

從索罟灣碼頭步行至蘆鬚城灣，只需約30分鐘。來到蘆鬚城，別錯過參觀石灰窰遺跡。這些石灰窰可追溯至南北朝和隋、唐時代（420-907年）。此外，蘆鬚城灣的水質甚佳，是弄潮兒的好去處。
