The trail which is known as the "Lamma Island Family Walk" is a great way to see the Island and is one of Hong Kong's most loved trails.

It is a gentle hike and relatively easy as it is paved and well-marked, with even refreshment stops and many resting points along the way.

There are some ups and downs and some stairs and steep hikes if you wander out to the many outlook posts, just take your time.

You will walk along the water, through the forests and lots of vegetation, little temples, pavilions, with many fantastic views... be sure to stop frequently and take it all in... (and try to ignore the ugly power plant that is definitely an eye sore)

The trail is most enjoyable during the cooler months. I would not attempt the trail during the full heat of summer. Shade is sparse or non-existent in some areas, so a better alternative in the hotter months is to take the ferry to Yung Shue Wan and hike down one third the way of the trail to Hung Shing Ye Beach, go for a swim and enjoy some sun and surf. There are changing facilities, toilets, refreshment stands at the beach.

During weekends and holidays try to stay off the main trail which will be very crowded. The trail extends beyond the main stretch that connects the two ports. There are also many short loops and trails that will also give you excellent views.
