For many Cheung Chau’s attraction is as much to do with its no nonsense, traditional village lifestyle as the sea and sand. And, while the island’s 20,000 plus residents have long since tucked into the benefits of tourism, the village has lost none of its charm. This is a world away from the suits and skyscrapers of Central. Fishing boats still ply the harbour – if in declining numbers – while the waterfront Praya bustles to family run grocery shops, clicking mahjong tiles and – in a nod to tourism – waiters mopping down plastic chairs and tables for the evening rush.
