Setting your mind free

A mere 30-minute stroll from the village market, here you can see the sunset sprinkling its golden rays onto the sea.
Seven Sisters Temple
Blessing for prosperity
The legendary ‘Seven Sisters’ were famous for helping young women improve their needlecraft. Here at the Seven Sisters Temple on the tranquil island of Peng Chau, they are said to aid couples who want to start families. There are only two temples maintaining the rituals of worshipping seven sisters in Hong Kong, including the one on Peng Chau.
Former Lime Kiln and Match Factory
Reminiscence of the halcyon days
The former Lime Kiln and Match Factory is a cultural repository of traces of Peng Chau’s old days in the mid-19th century. The island was once the cluster of industrial activities and the centre of Hong Kong’s lime and matchstick production. Hong-Sheng Liu, widely known as the ‘Match King’ from Shanghai, built a factory on the island in the 1930s.
Former Peng Chau Theatre
Treasured remains of island lifestyle
The Former Peng Chau Theatre is the only theatre ever built on Peng Chau. Opened on 6 February 1978, it has been showing selected films until its closure in the late 1980’s. The theatre was once a popular place of entertainment of Peng Chau residents and busy with workers finding escape from their toils.
Peng Yu Path
Getting close to nature
Peng Yu Path, a relatively new hiking trail on Peng Chau, opens up even greater access to the island’s picturesque sea views and ecosystem for all visitors. The path goes from Tai Lei Bridge to Old Fisherman’s Rock, overlooking the Disneyland and Discovery Bay, and concludes on a beach.
