Peng Chau ({{zh|t=坪洲}}) is a small island located off the north-eastern coast of Lantau Island, Hong Kong. It is known for its temples, its small island lifestyle and accessibility to fresh seafood.

Geography

Peng Chau has an area of {{convert|0.99|km²|2|abbr=off}}. The tallest point of the island is Finger Hill, which is {{convert|95|m|ft|abbr=off}} in height and provides hiking opportunities for those who seek them.

In 2003, the island was undergoing land degradation restorative work.

Features

There are several temples on Peng Chau, including:

  • Tin Hau temple ({{zh|天后廟|labels=no}}), built in 1792
  • Golden Flower Shrine, dedicated to Lady Kam Fa ({{zh|金花娘娘|labels=no}})[2]
  • Lung Mo Temple ({{zh|龍母廟|labels=no}})[3]
  • Seven Sisters Temple ({{zh|仙姐廟|labels=no}})[4]

The island is also the site of the, now defunct, Peng Chau Theatre ({{zh|坪洲戲院|labels=no}}).

There are remains of the Sing Lei Hap Gei Lime Kiln Factory, established in the 19th century, and the Great China Match Company Factory, built in 1938.[5]

Transportation

The main mode of transportation on the island is the bicycle, or on foot. As a general rule, motor vehicles are not permitted on the island, the only exceptions being emergency services, construction and village vehicles used for the transport of goods around the island.

Peng Chau is accessible by a ferry (Hong Kong and Kowloon Ferry) from Central on Hong Kong Island, or by ferries from Cheung Chau via Mui Wo and Chi Ma Wan (New World First Ferry), or by Kai-to ferries from Discovery Bay on Lantau Island. Helicopters are sometimes used in medical emergencies.

Peng Chau is linked to Tai Lei Island by a bridge. The bridge is part of Peng Lei Road. It is a popular fishing spot.

Government

Peng Chau is currently represented in the District Council by Josephine Tsang Sau-ho.
