Forget the tense city life. Lamma Island is the best place to spend a leisurely holiday!

Lamma Island was called "Liaobo Island" in ancient times. It used to be a place where foreign ships docked in Guangzhou for trade in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and was later improved to "Liaobo Island". Because the island is located in the south of Hong Kong, it looks like the Chinese character "Ya", so it was named "Lamma Island" and gradually replaced "Boliaozhou".

The aborigines of Lamma Island live a cold life. Generally, they only hang a "room for rent" sign in front of convenience stores or seafood restaurants and leave their phone numbers. If you want to find a place to live, you can also pay attention to these billboards, or ask the owners of convenience stores and restaurants, and they will usually introduce you. Most homestays have simple furniture, but they can meet the basic needs, have hot baths and keep them clean. The price is also more affordable. The only thing to remind is that there are many people coming and going, so be sure to lock the door when you sleep.
